Matt Nathanson - Pretty The World - off the album 'When Everything Meant Everything' - it was re-released on the 2003 album 'Beneath These Fireworks', but I personally prefer this version.
Lyrics:
They tied off your arms
with all their pretty charms
and the same bad lines
that 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 just a little bit louder
All spun awake
twisted in the heat...
you're always burning up so bright
when there's someone there by your side.
well 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
cause you're brilliant when you try
show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
I never thought that i could be who i am
i never thought that i could see where i was
i never thought that all this was just wasn't me
i always thought that all this was could never be
I never thought that i could be who i am
i never thought that i could see where i was
i never thought that all this was just wasn't me
i always thought i'd wait here for you
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
cause you're brilliant when you try
show me how pretty the whole world is tonight
This song needs some love. :D
Also, that picture makes him look like David Tennant (but less skinny and Scottish).
Which is QUITE a compliment.
