lyrics

Well Amanda let go around Valentines day
She wandered around with some drugs in her veins
I picked her when she had no where else she could stay
But this worlds such a beautiful place

We all hold onto books that we read in our youth
We accidentally invent our own versions of truth
And I love the way the sunlight is dancing off you
And this worlds such a beautiful place

I love the record you picked out
I love the words that you sang out loud
I love the texture of soft sounds
Loved it when your voice came down
And when I opened the window
I saw that I was alone
And the beautiful day shown
1000 blossoming halos

Well I wrestle some memories back down to the ground
Now there room to expand in the absence of sound
How can you frown with your friends all around
While this worlds such a beautiful place

Look the leaves are turning gold
They say one day the world will grow cold
But our song is eternal
This day can't be bought and this day can't be sold
I dance with my own shadow
So content be unknown
I rip my heart out on my own
10000 beautiful angles

I love the record you picked out
I love the words that you sang out loud
I love the texture of soft sounds
Loved it when your voice came down
And when I opened the window
I saw that I was alone
And the beautiful day shown
1000 blossoming halos

Look the leaves are turning gold
They say one day the world will grow cold
But our song is eternal
This day can't be bought and this day can't be sold
I dance with my own shadow
So content be unknown
I rip my heart out on my own
10000 beautiful angles
