Lyrics
She says it's cold And she says the sky is about to fall How do you know? Well she says the writing's on the wall Everything I made I somehow broke Every word I say I think I stole I can't explain but I won't give up the ghost She looks like an angel, talks like it's war And this whole world has gone crazy God's got a little lazy We're raising our white flags and holding our breath No retreat and no surrendering She says it's late And come on we're headed for the sun I said now wait, this battle's just begun Every line I've crossed has come undone Everything I know is somehow wrong I can't escape and there's nowhere left to run She looks like an angel, talks like it's war And this whole world has gone crazy God's got a little lazy We're raising our white flags and holding our breath No retreat and no surrendering I'm gonna fall with you Come on with you I'm gonna fall with you I've built these walls with you, oh no, hey And this whole world has gone crazy God's got a little lazy We're raising our white flags and holding our breath Oh, we're trading out black hearts for angels instead No retreat and no surrendering

Song Notes
Duncan Coutts:
White Flags was one of the few songs to "go under the knife" after the fact. The rhythm of the first verse was less defined at first, but Raine decided to define the shots a little more after Jeremy and I had left for Toronto. We all liked the idea, but who played the bass? It wasn't me. Listen for the ever so slight change in the bass tone as it goes into the first pre chorus.
