Sometimes, there is a sea of cold and grey Run, child, go find a reason here to stay Let the message that you write Keep you safe at home and warm tonight There is a boy, 'bout six years old Ain't kissed a girl, just does what he's told One day I'll wake up and say that boy was me All the pretty girls, all of them around at the bar Off in the distance, like some fallen star I hope it comes to this and that and then I'll know to say Oh, you gotta feel the world today Oh, you gotta feel the world and bleed the world away Listen to a story, listen to a story unfold Like a raging river, diving the way it's told I hope the salt flats get washed with a cleaner slate I hope she gets this, such a sweeter song See how she broke my heart and moved to friends before too long I guess she noticed how I lingered there with such a smile Oh, what a world, what a world we're in here today Such hearts gleamin' while the darkness seems to slip away I try to look at things from a different point of view
