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'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
