[Verse 1]
Never trust one that doesn't like fireworks
Won't go swimming, and sleeps on their back
Couldn't trust one that doesn't trust anyone
Scared of flying and heart attacks
You gotta check that self preservation
Or make it small enough to carry on
I'm guessin' it won't play out like Capra
But it won't turn into Peckingpah
[Pre-Chorus]
You need to know
We're not at war
[Chorus]
Let your guard down
Let your guard down
[Verse 2]
You know we've got a drive ahead of us
All the way to another state
I'm thinkin' that a change of scenery
Might shine a light on what you hate
So take the wicks, and tie 'em together
It's gotta be louder than before
I think it's time to lose that body armor
It won't protect you, 'cause we're not at war
[Pre-Chorus]
We're not at war
We're not at war
[Chorus]
Let your guard down
Let your guard down
[Outro]
And jump in, and blow up
(Let your guard down)
And get caught, and throw up
And get burnt, and mess up
(Let your guard down)
And get caught, and fess up
And jump in, and blow up
(Let your guard down)
And get caught, and throw up
And get burnt, and mess up
(Let your guard down)
And get caught, and fess up
