Lyrics
Can we put our guns aside
Expressing a desire to resolve conflicts and put hostilities aside.
So we can talk
Requesting an opportunity for communication and dialogue.
Our weakest links in firing range
Highlighting vulnerabilities and weaknesses in a confrontational situation.
Won't get us far
Recognizing that hostility won't lead to progress or success.
I communicate with abrasive tones
Acknowledging a tendency to communicate aggressively.
It's not my fault
Claiming innocence and attributing abrasive communication to upbringing.
I was raised in that chaos
Referring to a chaotic upbringing as a potential cause for aggressive behavior.
But I'm trying to change it all
Expressing an intent to change and improve despite past chaos.
How can we forget the shots I laid on you
Recalling past conflicts and confrontations.
The shots you laid on me
Acknowledging reciprocated actions in a conflict.
When did we become each other's enemies
Questioning when the relationship turned adversarial.
I won't hold it against you
Stating an intention not to hold past actions against the other person.
Don't hold it against me
Requesting the same, asking not to be judged for past actions.
And take my hand
Inviting the other person to join in moving forward.
Cause I just wanna love you
Expressing a fundamental desire to love the other person.
Can't you understand
Asking for understanding of the genuine desire for love.
That I, I just wanna love you
Reiterating the primary intention of wanting to love the other person.
I came in strong with my weapon drawn
Describing an initial aggressive approach with readiness for conflict.
Ready to attack at the break of dawn
Detailing a preparedness for confrontation at the beginning.
In solitude, my battle plans, they were clear
Explaining clear battle plans formed in solitude.
Oh, but the light is different
Noticing a change in perspective due to the presence of the other person.
While you're, you're standing here
Recognizing a shift in perception when in the presence of the other.
So take my hand
Reiterating the desire for a connection through physical touch.
Cause I just wanna love you
Re-emphasizing the fundamental desire to love the other person.
Can't you understand
Requesting comprehension of the sincere desire for love.
That I, I just wanna love you
Restating the primary intention of wanting to love the other person.
I've always lived like I'm prepared to fight
Describing a lifelong readiness for conflict as a personal approach.
I'll win, but what's the point in being right
Questioning the significance of being right when victory leads to loneliness.
When the enemy in question is you
Identifying the other person as the perceived enemy.
Behind my shield, I lick my wounds
Admitting vulnerability and emotional pain behind a defensive exterior.
Take my hand
Repeating the invitation to connect through physical touch.
Cause I, I just wanna love you
Reaffirming the fundamental desire to love the other person.
Can't you understand
Seeking understanding of the authentic desire for love.
That I, I just wanna love you

Will you love me now
Pose of vulnerability and seeking love in a scenario with lowered defenses.
