Everything to decide It's time I came up with some answers before I can carry on It's time I made my mind up before we can go along And I thought it was so simple And I knew that it could be so fine I know that the places that everything comes Rose beds scattered across the lawn Like the squares at Waterloo With the bayonets of thorns repelling Small children in search of lost tennis balls Seeing everything and giving their all I used to be scared of heights I used to get dizzy I never felt safe with my feet on the ground They said that up there the air would be clearer They said more space and more room to breathe Everything to the side I knew that something would happen It's better off than being alive I knew the standards decline I knew that we had to decide All the places, that's all we'd ever seen And the place that we thought about And the road that you travel has never been seen Rose beds scattered across the lawn Like the squares of Waterloo With the bayonets of thorns repelling Small children in search of lost tennis balls Giving everything and giving it all I used to think everything was coming up roses But I couldn't see the weeds that entangled my feet I couldn't see the trees ' Cause my forest was burning I couldn't see the bridges for the fire in my eyes They sold me the view from the hill Sold me the view from the hill They said that up there the air would be clearer They said there'd be more space and more room to breathe I used to be scared of heights I used to get dizzy They sold me the view from the hill
