worldy desires safely locked up in our heads

the clouds are dancing over our heads and we agree with the world
we knew right there for just a split second, we finally understood
why she was feeling blue, why he decided taking shortcuts was the only way
why they make fools out of themselves, they put themselves on display
they make us laugh throughout the night
while they cry inside, shielding their faces from sight

i understand what you're going through
no, i have no idea what could possibly be wrong with you
sit with me and let's stay out of the limelight
we have ourselves, we don't need anyone else to make things right
the decisions we are going to make will decide our lives
but let's make pictures with the clouds while the right time has yet to arrive

we make castles and lions and mountains from the clouds
i take you up the steps of the castle and we reign over the crowd
we can take up our swords and slay the lion dead
i will take you so high up the mountain all the oxygen will run from our heads
we don't ever have to know the reason for the blue or the route of the shortcut
and the clouds will dance over our heads and we'll agree with the world
