The Ice Storm, Big Gust, And You

Well, I swear that you came in the form of rain

That had frozen somewhere along it's way through the evening sky

So the trees got tired and laid on the ground

I swear you marched in like big gusts 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

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 lsat 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 to keep the conversation going

Trying hard to ignore the silence growing like it always does

Yeah, I know, so we better get running

And all your thoughts, they're so tired

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

We will do what it takes to get through to you
