LYRICS

Verse:
When the war is over
And we go back to everyday, everyday
Will it be the same again
When you've been turned inside out and outside in?

Chorus:
Singing from the windows
Shadow on the wall, the way they dance
Not much of nothing
And look at this fire burning bright

Verse:
Look at how the children play
None of us know what's to come tomorrow
But I'm not going out today
So dance with me like the time we've got is borrowed

Chorus:
Singing from the windows
Sirens in the dark, where are you going?
Pretend that it's nothing
But look at this fire burning wild

Bridge:
Well this is how we keep holding on
Every day, all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how you try, they won't stop

Chorus:
Singing from the windows
Something outside and I don't know

Verse:
When the storm is over
Picking up the pieces of everyday
Memories in picture frames
Trying to put the inside out and the outside in

Chorus:
Singing from the windows
Walking down the hall, nowhere to go
It'd be good to see you
Suppose when it's all said and done

Bridge:
This is how we keep holding on
All the days, all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how we try, they can't stop

Chorus:
Singing from the windows
Voices outside and no one knows
Singing from the windows
We'll get going again

Ending:
When the war is over
