I was born and grew up in the same small town Your neighbours never moved, even the clouds just hang around Ah, but then you showed up, and the sky was happy to shift You put your hand on my heart, love, and explained how life 's a gift People are born and die every day The sun goes up and comes down the same way But what of the things I 've worked for that weren't but are now mine? Those are just things, honey, you can leave them all behind Come with me and start a new life You can't sit around And just wait for paradise We 're all just hanging by a thread That's just nonsense in your head
