[ Featuring the Wall ]
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
Well I swear that you marched in like a big gust of wind
All cutting through our clothes, such an easy attempt
To convince us there's no reason we should be outside
And when you speak, it's like fire
All the smoke seeps 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
All cuddling 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 with guitars and trying hard
Oh to keep the conversation going, trying to ignore the silence growing
(And I know it is true) so we better get runnin'
C'MON!
And 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 down
We will sing (we will sing)
Pretty songs about love
And we will fight (we will fight)
Cause that's what it takes
And we won't back down
No, we won't shut our eyes and go to sleep
And we will write (we will write)
All over your walls
And we won't dance (we won't dance)
To your music at all
And we'll do what it takes
Oh, to get through to you
And we will sing (we will sing)
Pretty songs about love
And we will fight (we will fight)
Cause that's what it takes
And we won't back down
No, we won't shut our eyes and go to sleep
