lyrics

Batten up the windows,
Hide yourself away
Let the anger shout, get the best books out
Cause you know it’s all in play
A touch of that behavior that you never want to see
It’s a strange, strange land when you know you stand in the
Nicest place to be

Something’s in the air now
The pedals fell too soon
And the future dims when the storm blows in
And there’s nothing left to do
Forsake a mighty forest
When it doesn’t suit the tree
And the fear grows strong when there’s something wrong in the
Nicest place to be

Here’s a hope that it won’t be lies
That will lift the sadness right from our eyes
And the broken pieces when swept aside
Shows a path we’re needing to see

Batten up the windows,
Hide yourself away
Let the anger shout, get the best books out
Cause you know it’s all in play
A touch of that behavior that you never want to see
And the fear grows strong when there’s something wrong in the
Nicest place to be
And the fear grows strong when there’s something wrong in the
Nicest place to be

Here’s a hope that it won’t be lies
That will lift the sadness right from our eyes
And the broken pieces when swept aside
Show a path we’re willing to see

Something’s in the air now
The pedals fell too soon
And the future dims when the storm blows in
And there’s nothing we can do
Forsake a mighty forest
When it doesn’t suit the tree
It’s a strange, strange land when you know you stand in the
Nicest place to be
It’s a strange, strange land when you know you stand in the
Nicest place to be
