A Map of My World - Sad Lovers & Giants

Hard times at a gentle pace

Like stone I am weathered slowly

Building on my disgrace

When I know there’s a better way

I’m falling out of favour

With every breath I take

There’s no excuse for bad behaviour

Somebody’s counting all our mistakes

I fill my head up with pleasant notions

One day I’ll just walk away

Dark nights and working days

Like spirits rushing past you

Headlong towards the grave

Searching for a place to rest

In silence we stand alone

Until the lessons over

Many questions come and go And still the answers won’t set you free

I fill my head up with pleasant notions

One day I’ll just walk away

Tell me the truth again

Then try to stop me laughing

I’m sure that what you say

You really believe in My world is a perfect gray

A compromise of standards

Only conscience remains

But I won’t let you walk over me I fill my head up with pleasant notions

How could I be sure

I fill my head up with pleasant notions

One day I’ll just walk away
