lyrics

DISTRACTED GLOBE

If you ever look my way
You can tell me

Whatever is wrong is not what’s wrong
Someday somebody will show you
This place is empty, cold, and dark
And we can't pull ourselves away

Maybe you find you can't find the words
Maybe your words just don’t have a home here
Maybe you wish to see life as a child
Maybe your dream is to be something different

Hey!
It hurts you
It hurts you
Bury the feeling in the bottom of your heart

Hey!
And hold on
It's OK
Look away, look for anything better

All good things will come in time
But we can get lost in a moment
Even a toy can feel like heaven
To the child who needs it most

We may need help maintaining our focus
We may need help just to keep our eyes open
It would feel good to feel like a child
Filling their world with magic and wonder

Hey!
It hurts you
It hurts you
Bury the feeling in the bottom of your heart

Hey!
And hold on
It's OK
Look away, look for anything better

A mind is difficult to live with
It looks different for everyone
Anywhere but here, I get it
But you do not wanna miss this

Maybe it feels like it's just inconvenient
Maybe it feels like it will tear your heart out
Don't turn your back on the people who need you
Don't turn your back on your reason to be here

Bury the feeling in the bottom of your heart
Surround it with love, pain, and beauty
If you ever look my way
Tell me a lie, tell me anything better

Hey!
It hurts you (It hurts you)
It hurts you (It hurts you)
Bury the feeling in the bottom of your heart
(Bottom of your heart)

Hey!
Remember (Remember)
Remember
Hey!
We're OK, we're OK, we're OK
Hey!
