Go ahead and close the door
I stand outside in the rain
A little bird just told me so
It's time to start over again
So I'll man up and take this boat
Far away from these shores
And I reach behind in enemy lines
And find my terrible cure

Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world
And I've got my girl
And if it seems like we're falling behind
We're just slipping on top from the mountains of our minds

I've buried a treasure far off near the desert
I'm trying to find my way there
It's been too long since I've been myself
And my eyes can't see anymore
But there's a song inside this heart of mine
And I'd like to sing it to you
Cause there's an earthquake shaking inside my country
Now what am I gonna do

Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world
And I've got my girl
And if it seems like we're falling behind
We're just slipping on top from the mountains of our minds
