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

Only one to comment thus far? Excellent song, Fits right in after Fighting, and such a great tune for the CD.

'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

  • A picture of a place I'm nowhere near reminds me of when Clare's mother takes a picture of Clare to remember her by and then leaves for Mexico (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)

  • reminds me of when Clare was with the Petrellis and she didn't think she'd ever see her father again. Or possibly how much her mother would miss her, but more likely her and her father.

You save the girl, you save the world Well, that's not true, it seems A lesson learned Speak out of turn

  • save the cheerleader save the world, it doesn't really seem like tha. since in the 2nd season, sylar could have killed adam instead. and in the first season it wasn't always clear why clare needed saving. speak out of turn - nathan said 'am i speaking out of turn?' to clare's mother when they were on the phone. or something.

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
