There's something you should know I can't sing a love song anymore There's something going on And I can't turn my back on it anymore How can we go to sleep at night And lay there in our beds? When we know what's going on With the world today Is it in my head? Am I the only one? Is it in my head? When the war has just begun We look away, look away Look away, look away Look away, look away Look away, look away Is it in my head? Is it in my head? Look away, look away, no There's something in the air at night That feels so different And I don't understand I didn't see this wind coming How can we go to sleep at night And lay there in our beds? When we know what's going on With the world today Is it in my head? Am I the only one? Is it in my head? When the war has just begun We look away, look away Look away, look away Look away, look away Look away, look away Is it in my head? Am I the only one? Is it in my head? When the war has just begun We look away, look away Look away, look away Look away, look away look away, look away, no
