Lyrics

I'm afraid I learned some things that now I can't unlearn
Then I went and drifted past the point of no return
You ought to know that if I could, I'd be leaving us again
'Cause up until the dawning, before the facts were in, we were true
You were my whole flat world
'Til the day I discovered it was round
You were my favorite movie
'Til they started making 'em with sound
Do you blame me for thinking maybe
Love was a bigger place?
That I could sail beyond your edge
And not fall off into space?
Wisdom is our little black pearl
I loved you more than anything
In the whole flat world
The limited menu at your rustic restaurant
Had everything I wanted before I knew what I could want
The sky and the horizon are not a ceiling and a wall
You can stay here, safe and still
I need to take this call of the open blue
I'll miss you too
You were my whole flat world
'Til the day I discovered it was round
You were my favorite movie
'Til they started making 'em with sound
Do you blame me for thinking maybe
Love was a bigger place?
That I could sail beyond your edge
And not fall off into space?
Wisdom is our little black pearl
I loved you more than anything
In the whole flat world
Oh, oh
Blame it on Columbus
Or even the Red Delicious
I'm not the first in history
To want a little more than what was dealt to me
But still it's hard to say goodbye
You were my whole flat world
'Til the day I discovered it was round
You were my favorite movie
'Til they started making 'em with sound
Oh, come on now, do you blame me for thinking maybe
Love was a bigger place?
Maybe I could sail beyond your edge
And not fall off into space?
I gotta go, please forgive the girl
Who loved you more than anything
In the whole flat world
In the whole flat world
