A View of Beauty - Dreamland Utopia

I was no daddy's dream Was not your mama's prayer But I was your first and your Last ticket outta there I caught your wings on fire When I smoked my Bronco tires Outta that town I'm good at rollin' dice No good at standing still You liked the thought of chasin' Life instead of dollar bills We're livin' wreckless Nothin' to catch us, baby But the ground This ain't for everybody Toes hanging off the ledge Like we got nothin' to lose Ain't always heaven, baby This livin' on the edge You holdin' me holdin' you It's a hell of a view I paint with my old Gibson You paint your purple sky This town's our canvas, baby Let's paint it red tonight Go out like shooting stars Chasing what's in our hearts Into the blue (into the blue) This ain't for everybody Toes hanging off the ledge Like we got nothin' to lose Ain't always heaven, baby This livin' on the edge You holdin' me holdin' you It's a hell of a view Hell of a view We ain't for everybody Toes hanging off a ledge Like we got nothin', we got nothin' to lose Ain't always heaven, baby This livin' on the edge You holdin' me holdin' you It's a hell of a view Hell of a view Hell of a view Hell of a view

When I'm sitting so close to you There's only one thing that I wanna do But I know what you're likely to say That I'm going about it the wrong way We can't agree about anything Where to go or even where we've been And I know what you're likely to do Say that I've never cared about you And all I wanted to say was that I love you But you're telling me now you don't believe it's true You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different point of view You don't believe a single word I say If I'd say black was white, you'd say it was grey But in spite of being treated this way I still dream of you all night and day And all I wanted to say was that I love you But you're telling me now you don't believe it's true You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different point of view Just this once Just say yes Please You've got a clever way of haunting me I'm never scared, but you're still daunting me 'Cause I know what you're likely to say And I know that you'll get your own way And all I wanted to say was that I love you But you're telling me now you don't believe it's true You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different point of view

You don't have to drink tonight, why don't we just get some sleep? 'Cause I'm tired of crying in driveways As you slur the words you speak I know growing up has been an evil thing to you Makes you awful hard to love from a lover's point of view And I'll never understand how you wound up in the shape you're in But I'll always be the fool who fell for you in your burning skin I'll be praying for you and pining for you And hoping you get some rest But from a lover's point of view it's all been hard to watch at best 'Cause from where I'm standing you got a long climb ahead I'll be there to wipe the vomit when you cannot lift your head 'Cause a lover doesn't leave when times like these get dark I'll be there to watch the sunrise when we reclaim your heart And I'll pick you up downtown when you're grinning with a busted lip 'Cause you're not known for backing down And those boys are known for talking shit But now's about the time, look, you really got to decide Are you gonna be a good man to me or die the way your mother died? 'Cause from where I'm standing you got a long climb ahead I'll be there to wipe the vomit when you cannot lift your head 'Cause a lover doesn't leave when times like these get dark I'll be there to watch the sunrise when we reclaim your heart You don't have to drink tonight, why don't we just get some sleep? 'Cause I'm tired of crying in driveways As you slur the words you speak

We'd gather around All in a room Fasten our belts Engage in dialogue We'd all slow down Rest without guilt Not lie without fear Disagree sans judgement We would stay and respond And expand and include And allow and forgive And enjoy and evolve And discern and inquire And accept and admit And divulge and open And reach out and speak up This is utopia This is my utopia This is my ideal My end in sight Utopia This is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate We'd open our arms We'd all jump in We'd all coast down Into safety nets We would share and listen And support and welcome Be propelled by passion Not invest in outcomes We would breathe and be charmed And amused by difference Be gentle and make room For every emotion This is utopia This is my utopia This is my ideal My end in sight Utopia This is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate We'd provide forums We'd all speak out We'd all be heard We'd all feel seen We'd rise post-obstacle More defined, more grateful We would heal, be humbled And be unstoppable We'd hold close and let go And know when to do which We'd release and disarm And stand up and feel safe This is utopia This is my utopia This is my ideal My end in sight Utopia This is my utopia This is my nirvana My ultimate
