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 yeah i know so we better get running 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
