Kiernan McMullan - What's for You (Won't Go Past You)

She was twelve when he went to war
Mother stayed home counting bullets in the kitchen
At around forty-one, she died of brass lung
Left her kids with these words of wisdom

What's for you won't go past you
If properly understood
She barely knew what that meant
So up and left and just did the best she could

Beginning to see it's not as easy as I thought when I turned sixteen
A constant fight for money, like some cheap seat poetry

I don't want to wage war anymore, I just want to fall down at your feet
I don't want to wait till there's nothing left of you for me to keep

Cause life ain't always what you thought it would be
So excuse me while I enjoy the fantasy

He was gone at least half the year
All she needed was her own name
Pulled down by the same thing that taught her to run
From another fist full of champagne
The ceiling caved with one fight
They couldn't breathe quite right
Played a two thrown against the wall
Went and changed it all at the blink of an eye

Beginning to see it's not as easy as I thought when I turned sixteen
A constant fight for money, like some cheap seat poetry

I don't want to wage war anymore, I just want to fall down at your feet
I don't want to wait till there's nothing left of you for me to keep

I don't want to wage war anymore, I just want to fall down at your feet
I don't want to wait till there is nothing left of you for me to keep

Cause life ain't always what you thought it would be
So excuse me while I enjoy the fantasy
Let me enjoy it
Let me enjoy it
Let me enjoy it

I don't want to wage war anymore, I just want to fall down at your feet
I don't want to wait till there's nothing left of you for me to keep

I don't want to wage war anymore, I just want to fall down at your feet
I don't want to wait till there is nothing left of you for me to keep
