Tear It All Down

Pressed up against this shop front Drawing faces there in crayon It's a long way from the pockets full of rain And you have walked the streets for hours With your loose change and your flowers And now I'll learn your body like a nursery rhyme in braille It's a simple explanation For the paths that you have taken You have stumbled from the cradle to a prayer But in this darkened room We have got heart enough to burn We can dance away the hours we can leave our questions there And we'll tear it all down We'll tear it all down So welcome to our winning streak No broken bones or old deceits Its you and me versus this little town We're the rag dolls in the gutter we're the curses that they'll mutter And you will still be trying on my heart just like a crown And we'll tear it all down We'll tear it all down I know your tactics all the practice this bravery took And the flags are flying you're trying out a different look Now there's a candle in the window I've got a lousy history of tomorrows So I'll spill the beans in every little sound You are the creaking of the door You are the chorus of applause You are wishbones and the axis that these songs will spin around And we'll tear it all down We'll tear it all down I know your tactics all the practice this bravery took And the flags are flying you're trying out a different look And we'll tear it all down We'll tear it all down We'll tear it all down We'll tear it all down
