As It Is - Pretty Little Distance

I want to cross stitch shut my eyes
Wage a war on the world outside
Brace the barricade in my mind
But that’s alright

I stretch the truths ’til they lose shape
As support beams bend and break
Watch reality’s slow cascade
But that’s alright

And I’ve been thinking

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Ooh whoa oh oh

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Ooh whoa oh oh

I watch the sun dry out the grass
Hear the silence shatter glass
Feel perfection swerve and crash
But that’s alright

Yeah, but that’s alright

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Ooh whoa oh oh

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Ooh whoa oh oh

Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time

Go!

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
And that’s alright

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
Ooh whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
Ooh whoa oh oh
