Picture a world where we're upside down
the threads of our lives strewn across the ground
Napoleon won, and you stayed home
just when I waited for you
Roosevelt walked and you turned your head
just when I might catch your eye
Barbarians ruled with Rome overran
the phone by your bed it just ran
If we could jump sideways and change our world
what would it be?
I think I'd still stay here and thread with you
The pyramids fell, Atlantis rose
Edward kept his throne, Hendrix grew old
the night that we met you forgot your phone
train stuck underground, we went home alone
The Queen disappeared, it was De Gaulle who attacked
Columbus got lost, Red Cloud took it back
Sometimes I still think, what would be it be
if life went so differently?
Swam through it all to find the thread that you're on
I swam through it all to find the thread

She says I always knew
a better place lay beyond
what seemed like an endless plain of you
But the part that I did not know
she says as she wipes her hands clean
was just how close that horizon lay
So easy to dream of sunshine
so easy to punch a hole through
this darkened canopy you've chained me to
I always felt time bleeding out
she says as she grips the wheel
turns out she's staring, waiting for me
How many years living, cowering
believing you held my key
then I made you vanish as you did me
So easy to drink the sunshine
so easy to rip myself free
turns out you're easy to release
And now I can swim
in waters I drowned
so easy to smile when you're looking down
Now when they light my rear view
I don't freak I just press down
push harder until you just recede
