lyrics

I might, looking back in hindsight,
be a better man, tie my tongue and listen to the world
The fish eye was warping my perspective,
had to look around, had to get my tangled thoughts unfurled

Yeah I skipped out on being good,
on a simple line, on living as I should
For a long time it seemed to me that the world was mine, was mine
to do with what I would

Takes a small cut to get the river flowing,
just a sharp word I'm tacking round to get out of the wind
It's a small space to lie in when you're bending
Had to look around, see that there was nothing to rescind

Yeah I skipped out on being good,
on a simple line, on living as I should
For a long time it seemed to me that the world was mine, was mine
to do with what I would

I want my world to be over
I need my shoulders to be lighter
I want my world to be over

If they tell you I'm being too repentant,
please just look away and take my tears as payment you deserve
If I march 'long without a steady drummer,
oh girl that's proof enough I've got a steady nerve

Yeah I skipped out on being good,
on a simple line, on living as I should
For a long time it seemed to me that the world was mine, was mine
to do with what I would

I want my world to be over
I need my shoulders to be lighter
I want my world to be over

The shutter speed's too fast.
Oh take my hand and let me do it all again.
Forget about the past
'Cause my face hasn't changed, hasn't changed

I want my world to be over
I need my shoulders to be lighter
I want my world to be over
