Pretty The World - Lyrics by Matt Nathanson


Lyrics

They tied off your arms
With all their pretty charms
And the same bad lines
That always get you...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 a little bit louder

All spun awake
I'm twisted in your heat
God, 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 was something a little bit louder
Show me how pretty the world is
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 though that all this was wasn't me
I always thought all this was could never be
I never though that I could be who I am
I never thought that I could see where I was
I never thought that all this was wasn't me
Wasn't me now

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