Verse I:
In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
*The is optional
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just wouldn't stop it
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Pre-Chorus:
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
and She's saying, she's praying.
Chorus:
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns) yeah
No smoke, no bullets,
no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Instrumental:
Verse II:
Wish there was a white flag waving or that they were both
just faking
And it was just a game they were playing like shoot'em up cowboys
Leave the plastic pistols in the front ya----rd
Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise.
Chorus:
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns) yeah
No smoke, no bullets,
no kick from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Instrumental II:
Bridge:
I wish they didn't cut like a knife
I wish they didn't break you inside
I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna ru---n, yeah
Chorus:
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns) yeah
No smoke, no bullets,
no shock from the trigger when you pull it
No pain, no damage done
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
