The Only Thing Worth Fighting For - Rosanne Cash, Colin Meloy

Waking up is harder than it seems

Wandering through these empty rooms

Of dusty books and quiet dreams

Pictures on the mantle speak your name

Softly like forgotten tunes, just outside the sound of pain

Work me like a pair of thieves

With tumbled locks and broken codes

You cannot take that from me

My small reprieves, your heart of gold

Work me like a battlefield

Locked inside a holy war

Your love and my due diligence

The only thing worth fighting for

Change will come to those who have no fear

I’m not her, you never were the kind of gal to overthink

What I said was never what I meant

Now you see my world in flames

My shadow songs, my deep regret

Work me like a pair of thieves

With tumbled locks and broken codes

You cannot take that from me

My small reprieves, your heart of gold

Work me like a battlefield

Locked inside a holy war

Your love and my due diligence

The only thing worth fighting for

Fighting for

The only thing worth fighting for

The only thing worth fighting for
