[Verse 1]
Had to go through it to get better
Keep my blood moving to stay warm
Sent an unsure message to heaven
Don't know what I was looking for
It's always like that
Too clear for me to see
Fortune always comes disguised
Dressed just like me

A dozen roses by the bed
Aromatic soft and red
Another petal on the floor
When they're all gone desire more

[Pre-Chorus]
While the days go by
Every thing gets old
Self expression dies
When it can't grow

[Chorus]
Nothing on the walls
Paradise filled dream
Deep enough to hide
Somewhere in between
[Verse 2]
I have the record memorized
It must have played a thousand times
A melody that's familiar enough to hide
Inside your head but not the kind to make you cry

[Pre-Chorus]
While the days go by
Every thing gets old
Self expression dies
When it can't grow

[Chorus]
Nothing on the walls
Paradise filled dream
Deep enough to hide
Somewhere in between
Diamonds in my hand
Holding on so tight
Turn it back into
Sand before my eyes
