Before the Bombs - Death Cab For Cutie

Lyrics by：Benjamin Gibbard

Before the bombs

Before the walls came down

We would lie in the Summer sun

Watching the clouds pass one by one

Before the fires

Before the spools of barbed wire

You said you would never forget

What pierces deeper than the bayonet

There's only one thing that'll save this place

The only thing that they cannot face

There's only one thing that they cannot take

Love love

Before the mobs

Before the inside jobs

Sleeping in on borrowed time

Too distracted for the modern crimes

Before the war

Before the troops came ashore

I held you deep in my arms

A fool to think that they could save you from harm

There's only one thing that'll save this place

The only thing that they cannot face

There's only one thing that they cannot take

Love love

There's only one thing that'll save this place

The only thing that they cannot face

There's only one thing that they cannot take

Love love

Love love

Before the bomb

There's only one thing that'll save this place

The only thing that they cannot face

There's only one thing that they cannot take

Love love

Love love

Love love

Love love
