Song Lyrics

Life's tough when you're scared and small
Still tough when you're big and taller
Wrong side of McGregor's wall
And suddenly your heart is like a tennis ball
Up and down and side to side
Surf so hard you'd think you'd died
No love for you

Life's rough when you feel confused
Still rough when you hear the news
That each day gotta pick and choose
The same old sides, the me's and you's
But don't be sad, you're welcome here
Even certain carnivores are in the clear
I promise you

Wind blows and heaven knows
That sun can turn to rain
There's nothing much to fear, though
Doors close and we all know
That love can turn to pain
So let's be each other's heroes

No gate, no wall could ever split us up
Our love's forever
No hate, no fear could ever keep us down
We'll stick together

Life's nice on a sunny day
French press and a plate o' hay
But some days can't escape the fray
Crazily careening like a bird of prey
This old house is never locked
Even Tiggy Winkers needn't need to knock
I promise you

Wind blows and heaven knows
That sun can turn to rain
There's nothing much to fear, though
Doors close, it's on the nose
But love can turn to pain
So let's be each other's heroes

No gate, no wall could ever split us up
Our love's forever
No hate, no fear could ever keep us down
We'll stick together

Wind blows and a rabbit knows
That sun can turn to rain
There's nothing much to fear, though
Doors close, it's on the nose
But love can turn to pain
So let's be each other's heroes

No gate, no wall could ever split us up
Our love's forever
No hate, no fear could ever keep us down
We'll stick together
