Give Me Peace Songtext
von Thao & the Get Down Stay Down

I′m so much older now
Give me peace, give me peace
Floated up over and out
So you can sleep and I can see
If you could, you would do it
A lifetime of love to prove
But I would never hold you to it
Everyone has the right to move

We fell down to the equator
Caught our breath, wondered aloud
"What happens to us later? What happens to us now?"
What if
What if, what if I need my one enemy?


I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue

I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue

I know you built a model home
As close as you can come to be
I can't go the way you′ve gone
They're different from us and they wait for me

I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as statue


I'm so much older now
Give me peace, give me peace
Floated up over and out
So you can sleep and I can see
That if you could, you would do it
A lifetime of love to prove
But I would never hold you to it
Everyone has the right to move

I′m so much older now
Give me peace, give me peace
Floated up over and out
So you can sleep and I can see
I know if you could, you would do it
A lifetime of love to prove
But I would never hold you to it
Everyone has the right to move
