The World Is...

This is an invisible song

From an invisible man

Lost in the wilderness

Of a static avalanche

I started out with wonder

With air on my teeth

Careful what you wish for

There's something underneath

Because the world

Is held together

With lies and promises

And broken hearts

And brand new days

For you to start

All over again

All over again

All over again

She's standing in the doorway

She's taking off my shirt

No one could have told me

One day this would hurt

I'm moving through Manhattan

In the back seat of a cab

And all that ever happens

That's all we'll ever have

'Cause the world

Is held together

With lies and promises

And broken hearts

And brand new days

For you to start

All over again

All over again

All over again

Now some will say it's maudlin

And some will say bullshit

But there's no living without living

And the living shows you this

That the world

Is held together

With lies and promises

And broken hearts

And brand new days

For you to start

All over again

All over again

All over again
