Venice Lyrics

I might have seen a levee outside of Venice

When I woke after hours on that train

And it got me thinking, "Now I've really done this"

Cause I packed up myself to tread more new terrain

And it's been four months and then some on foreign soil

You can be far but never really far away

If beauty won't lie in your eyes, you'll be foiled

But if you can carry it in your gaze you'll find you'll be saved

And I've met a girl within this sun's revolution

She's one who will solve you, make a solution

You can't now deny what wasn't true then

If you held firm to her you could be safe

And you've been the topic of all conversation

Others have said it keeps us from looking cool

But I've never tuned in to what others are saying

Which doesn't add up against you, you've become our general rule

And it's not economic but it won't be a waste

Wherever good's given, it won't be drawn late

And some grace fell from heaven, it was your shape

I'd like to say I'd been the same to you

I am strict, I am right, I am ready and young

We're tired, well-traveled, we make plans, we have fun

We got sick of a hill so we hiked up a mountain

Got cold on the shore so we jumped in the ocean

Life is a trade-off

Emotion, emotion

And I'm for the moment that makes them say, "You'll know when"

Never a point that I thought I could pin

Except for the levee, now that really struck me

A gentle reminder of what I will and won't see again

And I'm bringing back treasure from across the Atlantic

Have I done anything to not make you frantic?

And when you said, "Don't trust them"

I should have listened

All that it took was me going

Going to Venice
