lyrics
It's human nature that we'd wallow in our sad songs, and
Reflect on the past, fearing some ancient, defining
Mystery, that we can see through. Open your eyes.
There's no mystery: simplicity is truth.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
You've swords and you have lovers who have lasted a night,
You've treated with respect both the black and the white.
You're so caught up in all of the features you want,
Don't forget what you've got, it's so beautiful.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
So reel in your sad, sad fishing rod,
That sinks with each tug that you treat as a loss.
The market man thinks he knows what is in store,
But there's no blind eyes that are crippling our core.
In the future you'll be happy all day
On the many odd occasions, until you're ripe with old age.
I'm wishing you well, and I'm hoping you're okay
And by God may your hand show the way.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
Reflect on the past, fearing some ancient, defining
Mystery, that we can see through. Open your eyes.
There's no mystery: simplicity is truth.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
You've swords and you have lovers who have lasted a night,
You've treated with respect both the black and the white.
You're so caught up in all of the features you want,
Don't forget what you've got, it's so beautiful.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
So reel in your sad, sad fishing rod,
That sinks with each tug that you treat as a loss.
The market man thinks he knows what is in store,
But there's no blind eyes that are crippling our core.
In the future you'll be happy all day
On the many odd occasions, until you're ripe with old age.
I'm wishing you well, and I'm hoping you're okay
And by God may your hand show the way.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
In a way, it's the way that you woke me up,
You're a step away from changing the world.
