Lay Down Your Arms
Embracing Love's Redemption: Lay Down Your Arms by The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow
Lyrics
I heard all your pain
I empathize with the pain you've experienced.
cnd the tears that you cried
And the tears you shed.
clone in our bed
We shared a bed, symbolizing intimacy.
I was sitting in the hallway awaiting
I was waiting in the hallway, possibly feeling excluded.
But I've spoken your name
I've mentioned your name.
cnd I've swallowed my pride
I've humbled myself and suppressed my ego.
I take back what I said
I take back my previous statements.
The sadness comes when the anger starts a fading
Sadness emerges as anger diminishes.
So won't you tell me you love me
Request to affirm love.
You still got my heart tonight
Your heart is still mine tonight.
So won't you lay down your arms?
Request to end conflict ("lay down your arms").
cnd I'll tell you that I love you
I will reciprocate with love.
No more reason to fight tonight
No more reasons to fight.
Oh won't you lay down your arms?
Reiteration of the plea to end conflict.
I'm a stubborn man, but you're stubborn too
Both partners are stubborn, defining their personalities.
I suppose that makes us who we are
Stubbornness contributes to their identity.
Strong willed, did you say? well okay
Acknowledgment of being strong-willed without argument.
I ain't gonna argue
Declining to argue about stubbornness.
Let's just strong will 'em away then, these lover's blues
Suggesting overcoming lover's blues with strong will.
They look so small from afar
Lover's blues seem insignificant from a distance.
We'll face 'em together, I'm right here beside you
Commitment to face challenges together.
it's a funny world, the places I've been
Reflection on diverse experiences in the world.
To this place we are now
Arrival at the current place in the relationship.
When I think back I could not quite explain it
Difficulty in explaining the journey back.
But I guess luck is on our side, cause it brought me to you
Attributing the meeting to luck and expressing gratitude.
cnd it don't matter how
Irrespective of how, luck brought them together.
It's a long road, but I sure am glad that I made it
Acknowledging the challenges faced on the journey.
