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 groundWell, 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 outsideWhen 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 downWell, 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 afternoonSo now we're at the bars hypnotized
And trying hard to keep the conversation going
Trying hard to ignore the silence growing like it always does
Yeah, I know, so we better get running, come onAnd all your thoughts, they're so tired
All 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 downWe 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 sleepAnd we will write all over your walls
And we will dance to no music at all
And we will do what it takes to get through to youAnd 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
