go ahead and close the door
i stand outside in the rain
a little bird just told me so
it's time to start over again
so i'll man up and take this boat
far away from these shores
and i reach behind in enemy lines
and find my terrible cure
cause it's a cruel and beautiful world
and i've got my girl
and if it seems like we're falling behind
we're just slipping on top from the mountains of our minds
i've buried a treasure far off near the desert
i'm trying to find my way there
it's been too long since i've been myself
and my eyes can't see anymore
but there's a song inside this heart of mine
and i'd like to sing it to you
cause there's an earthquake shaking inside my country
now what am i gonna do
cause it's a cruel and beautiful world
and i've got my girl
and if it seems like we're falling behind
we're just slipping on top from the mountains of our minds
