Avalanche Songtext

von Margot & the Nuclear So and So's

[Intro]
She said, "love is like an avalanche
Least I think it should be."
And a woman made of foreign parts
Is making love to me

The poetry and shaking limbs
You stood naked on a stage
This war I'd hope would save your soul
If you gave your soul away to them and then

My head was like a hurricane
That blew when we were sad
And we walked along the freezing block
And loved the life we had

We whispered about childhood
And the day that we would die
And how every breath that leaves our lungs
Is kissing us goodbye

And I watch you drown
In your cold hometown
And I burn my tongue
And I talk too much

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo ...

If there's fifty ways to leave your love
Then there must be fifty more
So forget about someone you hate
Once you've shown her to the door

And I watch you choke
On the things you need the most
And I burn my tongue
And I talk too much
