Pretty The World lyrics

Song information

Lyrics

They tied off your arms
With all their pretty charms
And the same bad lines
That always get you
And you hate the way
They wash you down
And summer hums heavy now..
Still you bolded all your best words
So they'd have something to wrap
Their mouths around

Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is.
Cause I want something just a little bit louder

All spun awake
Twisted in the heat..
You're always burning up so bright
When there's someone there by your side
Well just take me home
Cause I'm a mess enough clean
And I'll lie
Until I believe

Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I want something a little bit louder
Show me how pretty the world is
Cause you're brilliant when you try
Show me how pretty the whole world is tonight

I never thought that I could be who I am
I never thought that I could see where I was
I never thought that all this was just wasn't me
I always thought that all this was could never be

I never thought that I could be who I am
I never thought that I could see where I was
I never thought that all this was just wasn't me

Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is
Cause I want something a little bit louder
Show me how pretty the world is
Cause you're brilliant when you try
Show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
