An awkward girl with her guitar, keeping to herself
Friday nights alone with the records on her shelf
A waitress pouring ginger ale and coke
Someone you ask out as a joke
I've been that girl who fades away
Accepting what I've got
Stuck in what I am and everything I'm not
I've only seen this tiny world I'm in where I can only be what I've been

See a world beautiful and strange
Spinning off somewhere saying: Meet me there!
Look look how fast it runs away singing: Follow close and reach for me
See that you've got so much more for to be
Before it's over, before it's over

I can't go write another song, I'm too afraid to play
Or dream how things can change but only see what's in my way
I can't go back to what I was before, now that I can see so much more

See a world beautiful and strange
On a one way track and it won't come back
Look, look how fast it runs away singing: Follow close and reach for me
See that you've got so much more to be
Before it's over

I never even knew a world was waiting
Somehow something awful made that world appear
Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened
Happy that I came
Happy that I'm here

I can see a world beautiful and strange
Can you see it too?
It's so close don't let it get away there's so much to do
Before its over
