Give Me Peace - THAO, 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 equation

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 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’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
