The Ice Storm, Big Gust, and You

Well, I swear that you came in the form of rain
That had frozen somewhere along its way through the evening sky
So the trees got tired and laid on the ground
Well, I swear you marched in like a big gust of wind
Oh, cutting through our clothes such an easy attempt to convince us
There is no reason we should be outside
When you speak, it's like fire
Oh, the sparks leap from your mouth
And all your talk of such burdens
No it won't bring me and all my friends down
Well, I swear that you spilled into my room last night
Oh, covering me in sheets so tight that I didn't move
I just laid around until the early afternoon
So now we're at the bars hypnotized and trying hard
Oh, to keep the conversation going trying to ignore the silence growing
(Like it always does)
Yeah, I know, so we better get running
(Come on)
And all your thoughts, they're so tired
Oh, your bullets won't take aim
And oh your face, it's so stern now
No we won't be scared
No we won't back down
We will sing pretty songs about love
And we will fight if that's what it takes
And we won't back down
No we won't shut our eyes and go to sleep
We will write all over your walls
And we will dance to no music at all
And we'll do what it takes, oh, to get through to you
And we will sing pretty songs about love
And we will fight if that's what it takes
And we won't back down
No we won't shut out eyes and go to sleep
