Matt Nathanson › Lyrics › Pretty the World

They tied off your arms
With all their pretty charms
And the same bad lines
Always get you, always get you

And you hate the way they wash you down
And summer hums heavy now
Still you bolded all your best words
So they'd have something to wrap their mouths around

Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause I want something a little bit louder

All spun awake, I'm twisted in your heart
God, you're always burning up so bright
When there's someone there by your side

Just take me home
'Cause I'm a mess enough clean
And I'll lie until I believe

Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause I want something a little bit louder

Show me how pretty the world is
You're brilliant when you try
Show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
Show me how pretty the world is
Show me how pretty the world is

I never thought that I could be who I am
I never thought that I could see where I was
I never though that all this was wasn't me
I always thought all this was could never be

I never though I could be who I am
I never thought that I could see where I was
I never thought all this was wasn't me
Wasn't me now

Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause I envy the way that you move
Show me how pretty the world is
'Cause I want something a little bit louder

Show me how pretty the world is
You're brilliant when you try
Show me how pretty the whole world is
Show me how pretty the whole world is
Show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
