Lyrics
So the world was waiting As you headed on out the door Just to trip you up and spit you out Well I can tell just what you're thinking I'll be there to catch you falling out your tree tonight

Relax your mind, let it slowly float away tonight Forget about the day

The world sits on your shoulders Looks like an ugly weight to bear Almost lost you underneath there Well I can tell just what you're feeling You should let it go 'cause we can start again tonight

Relax your mind, let it slowly float away tonight Forget about it, it's a day away It's already a day away
