'til the Fighting Is Through

I guess everything's a trade-off
You make every day seem long
Spending all my time with the you inside my head
Until you get home

And now I'm not afraid of
The things I won't become
Because I found my end and my beginning
And I wrote her this song

And I'm always feeling these feeling too soon
But you never know who you're fighting for
'Til the fighting is through

And somehow you showed me
In a matter of days
Just what life could be like
Without me in my way
And now I'm not afraid of showing
What I've held close to my vest
Because I find it's not the words you write
That matter as much as to whom they're addressed

And I'm always feeling these feeling too soon
But you never know who you're fighting for
'Til the fighting is through

And I've heard you say
In more articulate ways
That the things that make you different
Are the things that make you great
And now I'm not afraid of
The things I've done wrong
Because they're the blood pumping through every word
I sing in this song

And I'm always feeling these feeling too soon
But you never know who you're fighting for
No, you never know who you're fighting for
'Til the fighting is through
