As It Is - Pretty Little Distance lyrics

[Verse 1] 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… [Chorus] 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? 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? [Verse 2] I watch the sun dry out the gra** Hear the silence shatter gla** Feel perfection swerve and crash, but that's alright [Chorus] 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? 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? [Bridge] Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time Go! [Pre-Chorus] 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... [Chorus] 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? 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?
