On a matter of opinion baby go for the throat It's a faster way to settle than to open a vote It's a paper thin line between love and insane Baby you can have the battle if you're taking the blame In the heat of the moment it's the words that burn But nothing quite says it like a four letter word So I shoot from the lip with a loaded tongue Too proud to go down in love Sometimes it's the silence that we need Sometimes it's the spaces in between I love you more, more than the air I breathe There's no substitute for clearing the air But it feels like forever that we take it there And we're never gonna settle on polite exchange When the first port of call is some loving rage So we stand at the barrel of a loaded gun And I can't walk away and baby you won't run So we go round a circle with an infinite end Cause we won't allow our pride to bend Sometimes it's the silence that we need Sometimes it's the spaces in between I love you more, more than the air I breathe Sometimes time is all we need And I've been to the top of the world So baby stop your crying It's a long road down and we don't need it And we keep going round Sometimes it's the silence that we need Sometimes it's the spaces in between I love you more, more than the air I breathe Sometimes time is all we need Love is an open flame And words that we exchange
