The America Song

Well I live in America
And here is how it lies
Underneath my pillow
Are plans that God passed by
She said it’d be all right
If I had to walk away
The greatest view is from the edge
It’s always been that way
And I’m becoming, beautiful
So much harder than I thought
It only feels like losing now
I guess I’ll understand someday
She opens up her pain
Becomes serene
If I could slip this vanity
That’s how I’d like to be
Cause I’m staring at myself
As I’m Staring at the earth
It seems so unfamiliar
The way that things once were
And I’m becoming, beautiful
So much harder than I thought
It only feels like losing now
I guess I’ll understand someday
If I could be alone
If I could be with you
I would stop a point and blame
Even though it’s true
And even though I said it
It feels like just like losing anyway
And I sometimes half regretted it
But I never ran away
Cause I’m becoming, beautiful
So much harder than I thought
It only feels like losing now
I guess I’ll understand someday
But if you’re becoming beautiful
It’s gonna be so much harder than you know
Then if you feel like you’re losing now
Then I guess I’ll understand someday
I’m told I’ll understand someday
She’ll understand someday
I guess I’ll understand someday
