Ice Cream
Walk Off the Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
better than anything else that I've tried.
Your love is better than morphine,
everyone here know's how to fight.
And it's a long way down,
It's a long way down
It's a long way down to the place where we started from.
Your love is better than ice cream,
better than anything else that I've tried.
Your love, it's better than morphine,
everyone knows how to fly.
It's a long way down,
it's a long way down.
it's a long way down to the place where we started from.

I was so obsessed with this when it first came out. It's the first time coming back to it since and the recycled teenage angst hit like a ton of bricks :')

I'd started to scan away from the video to read some of the comments but then I heard Marshall's voice and I had to go back up to the video. His voice just makes my heart melt a little.
