Lyrics Kisses Start Wars - Ryan Adams, The Cardinals

Kisses Start Wars

First things first, straight out of the box
it’s time to open your presents babe
here’s a family full of light I know it’s not much
This one is mine, I keep it with me all the time like a crutch
Like something ancient passed down from a father
something that nobody can touch
A kiss away from seeing the stars
you and I we are always on the way
on the way or in between the bars
and those kisses, those kisses they’re lost
But don’t worry baby
it’s not you,
this can’t be as crazy
and these kisses start the wars
I got to taste her sleepin'
but like junkies hate the blood
like drunks with all their missin' cigarettes
in apartments with skulls and blacked out windows
Artificial flowers and T.V. remote controls
I get lost, things change people don’t
people don’t, things change no
A kiss away from seeing the stars
you and I we are always on the way
on the way or in between the bars
and those kisses, those kisses they’re lost
But don’t worry baby
it’s not you,
this can’t be as crazy
Oh don’t, don’t worry baby
it’s not you, this can’t be as crazy
yeah these kisses start the wars
these kisses start the wars
