Lyrics The Only Thing Worth Fighting For - Rosanne Cash, Colin Meloy

The Only Thing Worth Fighting For

Waking up is harder than it seems
Wandering through these empty rooms
Of dusty books and quiet dreams
Pictures on the mantle speak your name
Softly like forgotten tunes, just outside the sound of pain
Work me like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes
You cannot take that from me
My small reprieves, your heart of gold
Work me like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
Change will come to those who have no fear
I’m not her, you never were the kind of gal to overthink
What I said was never what I meant
Now you see my world in flames
My shadow songs, my deep regret
Work me like a pair of thieves
With tumbled locks and broken codes
You cannot take that from me
My small reprieves, your heart of gold
Work me like a battlefield
Locked inside a holy war
Your love and my due diligence
The only thing worth fighting for
Fighting for
The only thing worth fighting for
The only thing worth fighting for
