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 oughtta know that if I could I'd believe in 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 them 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 a 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
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 a little black pearl
I loved you more than anything in the whole flat world
Blame it on Columbus, or Eve and 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 good bye
You were my whole flat world
'til the day I discovered it was round
you were my favorite movie
'til they started making them with sound
oh c'mon 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
