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.
