The more I see the less I know
The more I like to let it go…hey oh
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will
Be concealed and there's nowhere to go
Not cared what people thought so much, gone on my first long road trip with my best friend in the entire world and had the most amazing summer I've ever had...among other secrets ;)
