Battlecry

Do you remember that night, baby
That night it felt like we were fighting
And I had all this sadness and anger inside
And I couldn't
I couldn't hide it
And you saw it but we had all these friends over
And I didn't know what to do
So I decided to go out alone
Get drunk
And I know it was stupid
And it felt like I was going a bit crazy when I said to myself
When I get out of this terrible haze

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

Is this love or a battlecry?
Oh, is this love or a battlecry?

Is this desire that drive me away or inspire me
I know it ain't easy
I know it ain't easy but

Is this love or a battlecry?
Oh, is this love?

I will change I will not
I will fit you like a glove
I will fight you if I must

I don't know what fucked up image I got of love or life
All I know is I gotta loosen
I gotta loosen
I gotta loosen
I gotta loosen the grip on the knife

Maybe I just got such a melodramatic mind
That I take everything so hard sometimes
But maybe I was
Maybe I was
Maybe I was
Maybe I was
Maybe I was inspired
By too good
Yes, too good
Yes, too good
Too good
A cry
Too good a cry
Too good a cry
Too good a cry
Too good a cry

Like Rickie Lee Jones
Like Nina Simone
Like Cat Power's howl
And Benjamin's moan

Is this love or a battlecry?
Oh, is this love?
Or a battlecry?

Blow the horn
Light the torch
Blow the horn
Light the torch

You're on the battle
Battle
Battlefield
Battlefield of love
