lyrics

soldiers march while swallowing their fear
but somehow i couldn't sense the danger here
thought it was just a little fun
thought i got the message clear
but now here comes love
that dangerous little love could make us disappear

we're driving into open fire
keep your seat belts on
we live like we are kings but really
we are only pawns
we think we are impervious
to any kind of harm
but each time i'm with you
there's a bomb ticking in my heart

the sun is out, my favorite kind of day
but the hunters lurk in the shadows where they wait
love is in the air with each step we take
but baby there's a land mine
there's a land mine could blow us away

we're driving into open fire
keep your seat belts on
we live like we are kings but really
we are only pawns
we think we are impervious
to any kind of harm
but each time i'm with you
there's a bomb ticking in my heart

lord, have mercy on me
have mercy on me
help him see i'm real
and he's gotta fight for me
fight for me on the battlefield

lord, have mercy on me
have mercy on me
help him understand
he's gotta fight for me
if he wants to be my man

we're driving into open fire
keep your seat belts on
we live like we are kings but really
we are only pawns
we think we are impervious
to any kind of harm
but each time i'm with you
there's a bomb ticking in my heart (x2)
