Love Is War
Love's Battle: Navigating Storms of Passion with American Young
Lyrics
Young lovers in a picture frame
Young lovers captured in a photograph.
Ever notice how there ain't no rain
Observation of the absence of difficulties portrayed in the picture.
Nobody hangs hard times on the wall
Challenges and hardships are not visibly displayed or glorified.
You won't see it in an 8 by 10
No indication of struggles in a standard-sized photo.
But there's a storm every now and then
Despite the apparent calm, occasional storms or conflicts arise.
A slamming door down the hall
A metaphorical slamming door symbolizing conflicts within a relationship.
Sometimes love is a white flag
Love is sometimes a symbol of surrender or compromise.
Sometimes love is standing tall
Love also involves standing firm and resilient in challenging times.
Sometimes love is a feather
Love can be delicate and light like a feather.
Sometimes a cannon ball
Alternatively, love can be powerful and impactful like a cannonball.
But it's worth fighting for (it's worth fighting for)
Despite the challenges, love is worth the effort and fight.
Baby, sometimes love is war
A reminder that love is sometimes akin to a war, requiring effort and sacrifice.
An old couple on a front porch swing
An elderly couple reminiscing on a porch swing.
On a walk down memory lane
Nostalgic walk down the memory lane of their shared history.
Been through the fire and back again
Having faced challenges and overcome them together.
Through the clear and the cloudy skies
Through both clear and stormy times.
Still love in each other's eyes
Love still evident in their eyes despite the trials.
Sometimes love is war but sometimes you win
Love, at times, involves conflict but can also lead to victory.
Sometimes love is a white flag
Reiteration of love being a symbol of surrender.
Sometimes love is standing tall
Love also involves standing tall and resilient.
Sometimes love is a feather
Love can be light and gentle as a feather.
Sometimes a cannon ball
Alternatively, love can be forceful and impactful like a cannonball.
And it's worth fighting for (yeah, it's worth fighting for)
Emphasis on the value of fighting for love despite its challenges.
Baby, sometimes love is war
Affirmation that, at times, love is akin to a war that requires perseverance.
Sometimes love is all that can save us
Love can serve as a salvation in difficult times.
Sometimes love can kill a man
Love, paradoxically, can also be destructive or harmful.
Yeah sometimes love is a soft touch
Love can manifest as a gentle touch or a dangerous weapon.
Or a pistol in your hand
The dual nature of love, both tender and potentially harmful.
Sometimes love is a white flag
Love can symbolize surrender and compromise.
Sometimes love is standing tall
It also involves standing tall and resilient in the face of challenges.
Sometimes love is a feather
Love can be delicate and light or forceful and impactful.
Sometimes a cannon ball
Despite the challenges, love is worth the effort and fight.
But it's worth fighting for (it's worth fighting for)
Reiteration of the value of fighting for love.
Baby, sometimes love is
A reminder that, at times, love is akin to a war, requiring effort and sacrifice.
Baby, sometimes love is war
Final affirmation that, sometimes, love can be likened to a war.
