Some things are basically
Beyond vision of doubt
Some things I understand
That I'm better off without

Dingy walls painted clean
Broken words unseen
I said maybe the world's as it should be
You disagree

Bolder than paradise
And longer than goodbye
Carry your name around with me
Like a spell I sometimes recite

Wide open spaces and amber waves of grain
That's where I used to live
In the kingdom of my youthful reign
Before I was a prisoner to silo
Walled into the shadows, shy to the sky, yeah

Bolder than paradise
And longer than goodbye
Carry your name around with me
Like a spell I sometimes recite

Yeah, bolder than paradise
And longer than goodbye
And I'm gonna carry your name around with me
Like a spell I sometimes recite
