She says it's cold
And she says the sky's 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 is gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering
She says it's late
And come on, we're headed for the sun
I said now wait
Oh 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 is gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering
I'll go that far with you, to war with you
I'll go that far with you
I'd break down these walls for you
Well this whole world is gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
Oh we're trading our black hearts for angels instead
But no retreat and no surrendering
And she says the sky's 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 is gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering
She says it's late
And come on, we're headed for the sun
I said now wait
Oh 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 is gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering
I'll go that far with you, to war with you
I'll go that far with you
I'd break down these walls for you
Well this whole world is gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
Oh we're trading our black hearts for angels instead
But no retreat and no surrendering

Anyway, I think it's pretty much about not giving up no matter how bad things appear to be and that we can make a difference.
Not necessarily because of the lyrics, but this is one of my favorite songs from the new album, as much as I hate to admit it it's probably because it's so catchy.
I just love OLP. <3
