Nada Surf – Mustang lyrics

This is not a lie,
There's no double-side
If the world you
Wish for is in my mind
But we destroy the sky
By doing what we like
The moon's gonna watch
The world go
Barely there and white,
Can't hold it in my eye
Still it's all I think about
And all the time
A promise is forever
But forever doesn't know
Even that will fade and then go
Sheets come down,
They fall by chance
They drop but
They don't complain
They got to float
And now they have to rain

Who are you today?
Galileo galilei?
Do you live in a world
That nobody can paint
No matter who was right,
No matter what you know
The moon's gonna see
The world go
This is not a lie,
There's no other side
Sometimes when we joke about
It doesn't feel right
I stuck to a promise hardly
Anyone has made
It's the only thing that's
Saving my pride
Sheets come down,
They fall by chance
They drop but
They don't complain
They got to float
And now they have to rain
Sheets come down,
They fall by chance
They drop but
They don't complain
They got to float
And now they have to rain
Oh oh I lost
Something and I know
I know it'll swallow me whole
Like a shell that's swept away
Stolen by the waves
Oh oh oh I lost
Something and I know
I know it'll swallow me whole
Like a shell that's swept away
Stolen by the waves

Barely there and white,
Can't hold it in my eye
Still it's all I think about
And all the time
A promise is forever
But forever doesn't know
Even that will fade and then go
You were so bright,
You filled my mind
Like a vision in a frame
I'm about to lose that too
'cause your picture's faint
Sheets come down,
They fall by chance
They drop but
They don't complain
They got to float
And now they have to rain
Oh oh I lost
Something and I know
I know it'll swallow me whole
Like a shell that's swept away
Stolen by the waves
Oh oh oh I lost
Something and I know
I know it'll swallow me whole
At the bottom of the sea
A collection of my dreams
Oh oh oh I lost
Something and I know
I know it'll swallow me whole
Like a shell that's swept away
Stolen by the waves
