Standing on the edge of the Palisades' Cliffs In the shadow of the skyline
very far away Like a lightning rod that couldn't pull the storm from me
I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died He fell from these cliffs
The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream
And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars
Parent's garage Listen to the lullaby Of carbon monoxide
War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline
We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags
If the sun doesn't rise We'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion
A painted jail cell of light in the sky Like three-mile-island nightmares on TVs
that sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field
Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away
All those nights in the basement, the kids are still screaming On and on
War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline
We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags
And we're blowing in the wind We don't know where to land
So we kiss like little kids We used to be very tall buildings
We've been falling for so long Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town
They offer a welcome when you are leaving
War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline
We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags
The pieces fall it's like a last day parade And the fires in our streets start to rage,
So wave to those people who long to wave back
from the fabric of a flag that sang "love all of the time"
War all the time, war all the time All of the time (sing365)
This song is not literally about war, but deals with the hardships teens go through while growing up and how hard life can be. In the beginning of the song, lead singer Geoff Rickly sings about his best friend's older brother dying, and also growing up too fast not getting everything out of being a teen. (songfacts)
