Well I overheard an invisible voice 
Miles away in a crumbling hotel 

It said, this is a force like a moving sky 
I say, forget all you know, we gotta run and hide 

You shouted out your heartache 
Nearly every night 

And we can just pretend 
That I can fill these shirts, these, in 
With the holiday 

On the cobblestones on a sign of shade 
The sun will fade all the shadows that you chase 

An impossible thing that cut your heart in two 
So take your pick, and I'll do the same for you 

A church on every corner 
The mormons and christians congregate 
I'm shrinking down to size 
For the second day, I'm eighteen stories 
Above the sea 
I've got too many people on my shoulders 
A high rise over me 
A high rise over me... 

Well there's disbelief in the streets below 
Where I sold my story to a curround arrow 

We took a match to the masterplan 
Brought me down to earth like a treasure in the sand 

And what if all the what ifs were a happy man? 
You think our hands are tied 
But we pen the chapters every time 
You gotta realize 

A church on every corner 
The mormons and christians congregate 
I'm shrinking down to size 
For the second day, I'm eighteen stories 
Above the sea 
I've got too many people on my shoulders 
A high rise over me 
A high rise over me...
