Pearl lives in a parallel universe
Spinning on a flat Earth
Selling used Bibles for the man

The Amazon River has finally all but dried up
Mother Nature's been patient
But now she's had enough

There's gotta be a better way
I don't wanna hide away
I love you too much, I really wanna stay
For a time
I need to step away

Saturday night, we walked around the yellow police tape
The cops yell: Nothing to see here
Keep on moving on your way

Sunday morning, the street was all washed clean
Like nothing ever happened
Like it was only in a dream

There's gotta be a better way
I don't wanna hide away
I love you too much, I really wanna stay
For a time
I need to step away

It's all gettin' to my head
Makes me feel like staying in bed
Pull up the covers and watch an old movie instead

You saw me standing on the subway train
You gave me your seat
'Cause you could see I was in pain

There's gotta be a better way
I don't wanna hide away
I love you too much, I really wanna stay
For a time

I know there'll be a brighter day
I don't wanna hide away
I love you too much, I really wanna stay
For a time
For a time
Yeah, I think I'll stay
