pretty little distance

i want to cross stitch shut my eyes

wage a war on the world outside

brace the barricade in my mind

but that's alright

i stretch the truths 'til they lose shape

as support beams bend and break

watch reality's slow cascade

but that's alright

and i've been thinking. ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

i don't want to leave

i don't want to stay

why look twice at a beautiful existence?

ooh whoa oh oh

ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

i don't want to leave

i don't want to stay

why look twice at a beautiful existence?

ooh whoa oh oh

i watch the sun dry out the grass

hear the silence shatter glass

feel perfection swerve and crash

but that's alright

yeah

but that's alright

ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

i don't want to leave

i don't want to stay

why look twice at a beautiful existence?

ooh whoa oh oh

ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

i don't want to leave

i don't want to stay

why look twice at a beautiful existence?

ooh whoa oh oh

close my eyes

hope it all ends well this time

close my eyes

hope it all ends well this time

go!

ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

i don't want to leave

i don't want to stay

why look twice at a beautiful existence?

and that's alright

ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

i don't want to leave

i don't want to stay

why look twice at a beautiful existence?

ooh whoa oh oh

whoa oh oh oh

whoa oh oh oh

ain't life swell from a pretty little distance?

ooh whoa oh oh
