lyrics
Common sense says turn on the heater
A pragmatic heart says I should die
My blood is starting to bare a striking resemblance to the ice that's outside
They say there's no breaking, what's set in stone
But a million years, and a million winters could corrode us
How will we see when the snow holds up the windows?
How will we see when our angst blots out the sun?
Oh, I don't know
I'm only sure as lives go
We've failed
How will we see when the snow holds up the windows?
How will we see when our angst blots out the sun?
Oh, I don't know
I'm only sure as lives go
We've got to keep trying cause
Common sense says turn on the heater
A pragmatic heart says just let it die
Our love is starting to bare a striking resemblance to the ice that's outside
Oh can you hold the shrugging of a mountain?
Oh can you stop the sigh of the sea?
I know tempermental faults I shouldn't shrug
Confident ignorance will ruin me
So if she wants you don't try to resist
For her will alone, you exist
Try to hold the shrugging of a mountain
Try to swallow the sigh of the sea
But don't let her know you're resisting
Your hopes and dreams she'll bury
A pragmatic heart says I should die
My blood is starting to bare a striking resemblance to the ice that's outside
They say there's no breaking, what's set in stone
But a million years, and a million winters could corrode us
How will we see when the snow holds up the windows?
How will we see when our angst blots out the sun?
Oh, I don't know
I'm only sure as lives go
We've failed
How will we see when the snow holds up the windows?
How will we see when our angst blots out the sun?
Oh, I don't know
I'm only sure as lives go
We've got to keep trying cause
Common sense says turn on the heater
A pragmatic heart says just let it die
Our love is starting to bare a striking resemblance to the ice that's outside
Oh can you hold the shrugging of a mountain?
Oh can you stop the sigh of the sea?
I know tempermental faults I shouldn't shrug
Confident ignorance will ruin me
So if she wants you don't try to resist
For her will alone, you exist
Try to hold the shrugging of a mountain
Try to swallow the sigh of the sea
But don't let her know you're resisting
Your hopes and dreams she'll bury
