The world is big but my circles are small
 And please don't try to shut me out
 I'm in love that's all

 I'm not afraid to listen, if you're not afraid to hear

 And please don't laugh I just can't help,
 Grinning when I'm giving it all
 And please don't show you're face around my place
 I've seen it all before

 And I'm not afraid of dying, but sometimes I refrain,

 I believe that life goes on like a hurricane
 And you struggle through the pieces till you're not so sane
 Anymore
 And so you want and you suffer till you've had enough
 And in the end there's a heaven in the cold clear bluff, only want

 To come through like roses
 To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
 In the middle of a bad dream
 All you wanted was to be proud,
 Like a rough little
 Soldier,
 There's a place where the soul ends
 Comes through like roses,
 Comes through like roses

 Looking down I see my cigarette is even,
 With the horizon that my feet have made in the blanket,
 Looking back I lost the fight it was uneven,
 You never gave me time enough to say I was wrong
 Or I was sorry,

 I can see your head's still spinning like a merry-go-round
 And you're glaring at the people like you've been shut down
 Quarter time,
 It's a war gonna win no matter what it takes,
 And you can feel every second of the cold heartache
 Coming down

 To come through like roses
 To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
 In the middle of a bad dream
 All you wanted was to be proud,
 Like a rough little
 Soldier,
 There's a place where the soul ends
 Comes through like roses,
 Comes through like roses

 To come through like roses
 To head fast like a clear stream, to feel soft like a freight train,
 In the middle of a bad dream
 All you wanted was to be proud,
 Like a rough little
 Soldier,
 There's a place where the soul ends
 Comes through like roses,
 Comes through like roses
