Guns and Horses Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're so quiet
But it doesn't faze me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy
Let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
But every fire is a lesson learned

[Pre-Chorus]
I left my house, left my clothes
Door wide open, heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

[Chorus]
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would

[Verse 2]
Let's type words
Because they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you found
But you found me (Found me)
On a screen you sit at permanently

[Pre-Chorus]
I left my house, left my clothes
Door wide open, heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

[Chorus]
But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would

[Bridge]
It's time to come clean and make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

[Chorus]
But I wish I could feel it all for you (For you)
I wish I could be it all for you (Be it all for you, for you)
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would

[Outro]
I'd do it all for you, I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you, I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you, I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you, I'd do it all for you

About

During an interview with SkySongs, Ellie commented on the meaning behind the song:

I wrote ‘Guns And Horses’ about a romance that began online, hence the lyric ‘you found me at a screen you sit at permanently.’ I wanted the guy to feel more than he did for me but through no fault of his own he couldn’t. It’s a song about frustration essentially. My producer [Starsmith] made me laugh at the end, I can’t repeat what he called me though.

The song was used in the sixth episode of the second season of the American television series Drop Dead Diva, “Begin Again,” originally aired 18 July 2010.
