Pretty The World Lyrics

they tied off your arms
with all their pretty charms
and the same bad lines
that always get you
and you hate the way
they wash you down
and summer hums heavy now...
still you bolded all your best words
so they'd have something to wrap
their mouths around.

show me how pretty the world is.
cause i envy the way that you move
show me how pretty the world is..
cause i want something just a little bit louder

all spun awake
twisted in the heat...
you're always burning up so bright
when there's someone there by your side.
well just take me home
cause i'm a mess enough clean
and i'll lie
until i believe

show me how pretty the world is.
cause i envy the way that you move
show me how pretty the world is...cause i
want something just a little bit louder
show me how pretty the world is
cause you're brilliant when you try
show me how pretty the whole world is tonight

i never thought that i could be who i am
i never thought that i could see where i was
i always thought that all this was just wasn't me
i always thought that all this was could never be

i never thought that i could be who i am
i never thought that i could see where i was
i always thought that all this was just wasn't me
i always thought i'd wait here for you

I pretty much agree with the other people. He wants to see the world and everything through someone else eyes, because to them everything looks pretty and good, for example bad lines or jokes. He's feeling a bit depressed or and wants to be helped to see how beautiful things can be.

Being in love with a girl who shows him just how damn WONDERFUL and AMAZING the world can be, in all the big and small things. Its a love song for both a girl and the world in which she lives.

I agreey with Cautionary. That sounds great.

Maybe it's because I just got done reading a book about a couple on drugs, but something about this really does remind me of doing drugs. The line "Just take me home 'cause I'm a mess enough clean" makes me think of it, and the bit at the beginning of tying off their arms.
