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
