lyrics

You, you’re a pretty girl
You’ve got the world
If you’d want it

Me, I’m a fragile boy
Born and raised
On hidden treasures

You, said I was like the rain
Always fallin’
On your sunny days

We, took our time
Found ourselves
Building a promise

Ah but you, you know me
What you see
Isn’t what you’re getting

The sky, she’s that shade of blue
The perfect hue
To get lost in

Once, I tried to fly
At times in life
We’ve all got to

Don’t cry, you can get so down
Then you wear it around
Like the finest jewelry

We, took our time
Found ourselves
Slaves to a promise

And you, you know me
What you see
Is just what you’re getting

You, you’re a pretty girl
You’ve got the world
But you don’t believe it

Me, I’m a bitter boy
Growing older
Than my number.
