Come to Believe
Snow (Hey Oh)

There are many, all anonymous, who know the meaning of this…

Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride

… which is to say:
Don’t quit before the miracle.


Come to decide that the things that I tried
Were in my life just to get high on
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time
Step from the road to the sea, to the sky
And I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh

I got your hey oh
Now listen what I say, oh, oh

When will I know that I really can’t go
To the well once more time to decide on
When it’s killing me, when will I really see
All that I need to look inside

Come to believe that I better not leave
Before I get my chance to ride
When it’s killing me, what do I really need?
All that I need to look inside

Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh
Come back and hey oh
Look at what I say, oh

The more I see, the less I know
The more I’d like to let it go
Hey oh
Who-ho-oh-ho-o

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
And it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there’s nowhere to go

Ho!

Went to descend to amend for a friend
All the channels that have broken down
Now you bring it up, I’m gonna ring it up
Just to hear you sing it out
Step from the road to the sea, to the sky
And I do believe what we rely on
When I lay it on, come, get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice

Hey oh
Listen what I say, oh
I got your hey oh
Listen what I say, oh

The more I see the less I know
The more I’d like to let it go
Hey oh
Who-ho-oh-ho-o

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
And there’s nowhere to go

I said hey-hey yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey-hey yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Privately divided by a world so undecided
And there’s nowhere to go
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder
Where it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed
There’s nowhere to go

I said hey oh yeah, oh yeah
Tell my love now
Hey-hey yeah, oh yeah
