If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
A life that loved, a picture of
A place I know we're here
A bleeding heart
A good head start to anywhere but here
Just let me out
Please, let me out
Before I turn into
A box of things
Reminding me how much I'm missing you
I am missing you
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
And through the wall, my fist you call
But then you always run
So what's it for, the love and war
It's only fair for some
You save the girl, you save the world
Well that's not true, it seems
A lesson learned, speak at your turn
I'll bite my tongue it bleeds
Bite my tongue it bleeds
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
Are you wondering?
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside
Of the last good scene
A film that changes things
Breaks us, makes us sing
Leaves us wondering
If I could
Shrink the world tonight
If I could
Shrink the world tonight
