lyrics

The World Is Too Much With Us

The world is too much with us
everywhere you look we've made her a new tragedy
with every story she's turning over in her sleep with worry

This body of mine will one day be the death of me
but for now I rely on it for life I rely on it to breathe
and It's really too bad baby because we could be angels by now
If it weren't for these animals that bind us to the ground

But my animal likes your animal
It wants to go romping through the woods, dancing in the dark
digging out everything I find in your heart
But the person in me is too encumbered and shy to say
All the things that I'm thinking of so I let them go all unnamed

I could try and find the answer to my life
but the question seems irrelevant
When It's just a stab in the dark, a face with no name
A hungry wild thing that you cannot tame

Bridge
I don't look back too far
at the movie show of my life
you can't learn too much about the way things are
when all images shift in the light
can't find the moment felt in the framing scene
and I forget myself in the remembering

'Cause it's just too much with us
everywhere you look we've made her a new tragedy
with each news flash story
she's turning over in her sleep with worry

All these lovely days we fret away
thinking there's something better we should do
are roses in the ground, summer's by the sea
fading like memories do
