Stained Glass Eyes And Colorful Tears
Pierce The Veil · Collide With The Sky [2012]
[Intro]
I changed your mind
And it appeared
Through stained glass eyes
And colorful tears
[Chorus]
Fine...
Maybe I'll pretend right now
But I swear to god
I'm gonna change the world
I promise you
Someday we'll tell ourselves
"Oh my God, this is paradise"
[Verse 1]
I cherish my
American girl
She holds them down
While I destroy the world
My desperate cries
She don't seem to care
(Oh yeah)
She bites her tongue
And we can tell each other
"Baby this is paradise"
"And it's so god damn good"
Now we live like we should
[Chorus]
Fine...
Maybe I'll pretend right now
But I swear to god
I'm gonna change the world
I promise you
Someday we'll tell ourselves
"Oh my God, this is paradise"
[Chorus]
Fine...
Maybe I'll pretend right now
But I swear to god
I'm gonna change the world
I promise you
Someday we'll tell ourselves
"Oh my God, this is paradise"
I changed your mind
And it appeared
Through stained glass eyes
And colorful tears
[Chorus]
Fine...
Maybe I'll pretend right now
But I swear to god
I'm gonna change the world
I promise you
Someday we'll tell ourselves
"Oh my God, this is paradise"
[Verse 1]
I cherish my
American girl
She holds them down
While I destroy the world
My desperate cries
She don't seem to care
(Oh yeah)
She bites her tongue
And we can tell each other
"Baby this is paradise"
"And it's so god damn good"
Now we live like we should
[Chorus]
Fine...
Maybe I'll pretend right now
But I swear to god
I'm gonna change the world
I promise you
Someday we'll tell ourselves
"Oh my God, this is paradise"
[Chorus]
Fine...
Maybe I'll pretend right now
But I swear to god
I'm gonna change the world
I promise you
Someday we'll tell ourselves
"Oh my God, this is paradise"
