Perfect World
Broken Bells
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Oh London moon Help me stumble home Let me lose myself along the way I've got nothing left It's kind of wonderful 'Cause there's nothing they can take away Away The open doors Left me wanting more Never thought they'd close them all away The ordinary life they want for you Is it too much to have to bear? But it's another way to win a useless fight You've been lying so long from the way that you're faking See the water run and rise Just another day into a useless night I've been pushing so hard that my hands are shaking See the water run and rise But I've been turned around I was upside down I thought love would always find a way But I know better now Got it figured out It's a perfect world all the same World But I've been turned around I was upside down I thought love would always find a way But I know better now Got it figured out It's a perfect world all the same World, world, world, world World, world, world, world I was hoping for An easy rambling life 'Till an ocean came to my mind We look for exit signs But we can't be changed Into nothing overnight Though we know it's over It keeps exploding Every morning when we rise
