View's Much Better from Here
Came across an old notebook
Couldn't help but take a long look
So many things that I discovered
Thoughts about one thing or another
Before our backs started achin'
There was no grief we were taking
Back before our plans started breaking
We were making things up as we went
You didn't have to look hard to see us
Everyone wanted to be us
There was no one to check us
Greater than you'd expect us
We stood out in a crowd
Yeah we were brash we were loud
We were so tall we were proud
We don't feel like that anymore
If you don't try you will forget
Your mind will play its tricks
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
As I read between the linings
I saw all the things we were hiding
Lonely scared and insecure
Silently praying for a cure
We took shots at the moon
From inside our cocoons
All our boasting just a ruse
Saying we cause I felt so alone
If you don't try you will forget
Your mind will play its tricks
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Memory's colored by regret
You've cheated it I'd bet
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Looking back it really struck me
I was once young and I was lucky
Wondering why no one else saw my magic
It was glorious and tragic
The world lay before me at my feet
Face down's the way we would meet
Acting like there was nothing that could break me
But I wouldn't go back if you could take me
If you don't try you will forget
Your mind will play its tricks
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Memory's colored by regret
You've cheated it I'd bet
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Couldn't help but take a long look
So many things that I discovered
Thoughts about one thing or another
Before our backs started achin'
There was no grief we were taking
Back before our plans started breaking
We were making things up as we went
You didn't have to look hard to see us
Everyone wanted to be us
There was no one to check us
Greater than you'd expect us
We stood out in a crowd
Yeah we were brash we were loud
We were so tall we were proud
We don't feel like that anymore
If you don't try you will forget
Your mind will play its tricks
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
As I read between the linings
I saw all the things we were hiding
Lonely scared and insecure
Silently praying for a cure
We took shots at the moon
From inside our cocoons
All our boasting just a ruse
Saying we cause I felt so alone
If you don't try you will forget
Your mind will play its tricks
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Memory's colored by regret
You've cheated it I'd bet
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Looking back it really struck me
I was once young and I was lucky
Wondering why no one else saw my magic
It was glorious and tragic
The world lay before me at my feet
Face down's the way we would meet
Acting like there was nothing that could break me
But I wouldn't go back if you could take me
If you don't try you will forget
Your mind will play its tricks
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
Memory's colored by regret
You've cheated it I'd bet
Look deeper you'll admit
The view's much better from here
