Shrink the World Lyrics
If I could, then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find you and me inside
A life in love
A picture of a place I'm nowhere near
A bleeding heart
A good head start to anywhere but here
Just let me out
Please let me out
Before I turn into
A box of things reminding me how much I'm missing you
(I am missing you)
If I could, then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
And through the wall
My fist you call
But then you always run
So what's it for, the love and war?
It's only fair for some
You save the girl, you save the world
Well, that's not true, it seems
A lesson learned
Speak out of turn
I bite my tongue; it bleeds
(Bite my tongue; it bleeds)
If I could, then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
Are you wondering?
If I could, then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
If I could
Shrink the world tonight
If I could
Shrink the world tonight
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find you and me inside
A picture of a place I'm nowhere near
A bleeding heart
A good head start to anywhere but here
Please let me out
Before I turn into
A box of things reminding me how much I'm missing you
(I am missing you)
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
My fist you call
But then you always run
So what's it for, the love and war?
It's only fair for some
Well, that's not true, it seems
A lesson learned
Speak out of turn
I bite my tongue; it bleeds
(Bite my tongue; it bleeds)
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
Are you wondering?
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
Shrink the world tonight
If I could
Shrink the world tonight

Only one to comment thus far? Excellent song, Fits right in after Fighting, and such a great tune for the CD.
it's not a beating heart...its a bleeding heart.
wow... this is one of my favorites off Paper Walls! kinda makes me think of Occean Avenue... =D
'its a bleeing heart' not beating... obviously someone wants out of their current situation.... I love this song, one of my absolute faves by the guys! great CD too
I don't like this song. It lacks emotion especially when he says I am missing you. It isn't said with much strength.
anyone else think of Heroes with the line "you save the girl (cheerleader), you save the world"? just wondering
this ended up being one of my favorite songs on the album, although i didn't like it at first.
long distance relationship.. he wants to shrink the world, if he could he would. he wants them closer and he wants things to be how they were the last time they were together.
Wow. This song is off the roof. I really like the violin and guitar solo
It reminds me of Heroes. Not just because of 'you save the girl, you save the world' but I do think that it reminds me of Clare.
A life of love A picture of a place I'm nowhere near A bleeding heart A good head start to anywhere but here
Just let me out Please let me out Before I turn into A box of things Reminding me how much I'm missing you (I am missing you)
You save the girl, you save the world Well, that's not true, it seems A lesson learned Speak out of turn
but really, all that shows is that i'm just majorly obsessed with Heroes. hahaha.
No I totally agree with you Miss-R, this isnt the first time they've made a song like this, such as "How I Go" on Lights and Sounds is obviously about Big Fish Although this isnt as obvious, it could still very well be about Heroes and I think it is as well, esp after reading your post
