Allies or Enemies Lyrics by The Crane Wives

Here I Am: Live From the Listening Room

2015

[Verse 1]
The words I speak are wildfires and weeds
They spread like some awful damn disease
I swear I didn’t mean what I said
I swear I didn’t mean it
[Verse 2]
Now listen close, you owe me ears for dropping eaves
Forget it all, you caught me in a moment weak
Sometimes I just can’t help myself
Sometimes I can’t help myself at all
[Chorus]
Are we allies or enemies?
This will be the death of me
[Verse 3]
Remember when I could tell you not to smile when you were mad?
And you would always crack
And we’d both be laughing in the end
Now you’re not so quick to forget
[Chorus]
Are we allies or enemies?
This will be the death of me
This will be the death of me
All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore
This will be the death of me
[Bridge]
What happens now? Do we have another go?
Do we bow out and take our separate roads?
I’ll admit I’ve had my doubts
But I want to be let in, not out
But I want to be let in, not out
[Chorus]
Are we allies or enemies?
This will be the death of me
This will be the death of me
All is fair in love and war, but I can’t fight with you anymore
This will be the death of me
Are we allies or enemies?
This will be the death of me
