The Ice Storm, Big Gust, and You - Tilly And The Wall

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
