I Want to Know the Most Beautiful Song You've Ever Heard

Round Here
~Counting Crows~

Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white

And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
Through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know

Round here, we always stand up straight.
round here, something radiates.

Maria came from Nashville, with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire at the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and takes her clothes off
She says she's close to understanding Jesus
She knows she's just a little more than misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous.

Round here, we're carving out our names
Round here, we all look the same
Round here, we talk just like the lions
but we sacrifice like lambs
Round here, she's slipping through my hands

Sleeping children got to run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning

She says "It's only in my head"
She says "Shhhh I know it's only in my head"

But the girl on the car in the parking lots
Says "Man you should try to take a shot
can't you see my walls are crumbling"

Then she looks up at the building
And she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life;
She must be tired of something

Round here, she's always on my mind
Round here (hey man) I got lot's of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
'Round here we stay up very very very very late.

I can't see nothing nothing
Around here
You catch me if I'm falling
You catch me if I'm falling
Will you catch me because I'm falling down on here
I said "I'm under the gun"
Round here
Oh man I said "I'm under the gun"
Round here
And I can't see nothin' nothin'
Round here

such a sad song... but so beautiful

When I'm struggling I like to listened to it, I like the line 'round here, we always stand up straight'

It inspires me to tell myself to suck it up, to deal with whatever is bugging me
