[Verse 1]
Watch the feathers fly up from your coat
You're like an angel, I need an angel
I get so weighted down somehow you float
Across the pavement
Across the pavement I've been stuck to so long
[Chorus]
And an ugly world suddenly
Seems almost beautiful now
Every drunken word is poetry
And weeds turn to flowers somehow
Up against the wind, you and me
It don't matter where we blow to
Even in this dark, I can see everything
I've lost inside you
[Post-Chorus]
Now splashing down every street I used to bleed in
With every doubt dripping out
This is where it's all been leading to tonight
[Verse 2]
Tonight I say it's like the city's ours
You say it's nowhere, I'm fine with nowhere
Smil as you exhale up toward the stars
And blow the dust out
And blow the dust across a sea of concrete
[Chorus]
And an ugly world suddenly
Seems almost beautiful now
Every drunken word is poetry
And weeds turn to flowers somehow
Up against the wind, you and me
It don't matter where we blow to
Even in this dark, I can see everything
I've lost inside you
[Post-Chorus]
Now splashing down every street I used to bleed in
With every doubt dripping out
This is where it's all been leading to tonight
[Bridge]
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than on this sidewalk, you and me
We could have it all, soaking in a summer night
While you're biting at raindrops
[Chorus]
And an ugly world suddenly
Seems almost beautiful now
Every drunken word is poetry
And weeds turn to flowers somehow
Up against the wind, you and me
It don't matter where we blow to
Even in this dark, I can see everything
I've lost inside you
