The World You Love

I’ve got a story it’s almost finished
now all I need is someone to tell it to
maybe that’s you.

our time is borrowed and spent too freely
every minute I have needs to be made up… but how?
I’m looking for a nice way to say “I’m out.”
I want out.

I fall asleep with my friends around me
only place I know, I feel safe
I ‘ m g o n n a c a l l t h i s h o m e

the open door is still miles away
hey, nothing serious
we still have our fun
oh we had it once

but windows open and close that’s just how it goes

don’t it feel like sunshine after all?
the world we love forever, gone
we’re only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are

I’m in love with the ordinary
I need a simple space to rest my head
and everything gets clear
well I’m a little ashamed for asking
but just a little helps it gets me straight again
helps me get over it

i t m i g h t s e e m l i k e a d r e a m
but it’s real to me

don’t it feel like sunshine after all?
the world we love forever, gone
we’re only just as happy
as everyone else seems to think we are

you should see the canals are freezing
you should see me high
you should just be here
be with me here

it doesn’t seem there’s hope for me, I l e t y o u d o w n
but I wont give in now, not for any amount!
