Panic! At The Disco - She Had The World Lyrics

Panic! At The Disco Lyrics

"She Had The World"

She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me
Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
'Cause she couldn't ever have me
She said she'd won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
'Cause she couldn't ever catch me

I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes, I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well, I just see the sky

I don't love you, I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me? I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea to see if I can catch a dream

The sun was always in her eyes
She didn't even see me
But that girl had so much love
She'd wanna kiss you all the time
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time
She said she'd won the world at a carnival
But I'm sure I didn't ruin her
It just made her more interesting
I'm sure I didn't ruin her
Just made her more interesting

I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes, I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well, I just see the sky

I don't love you, I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me? I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea to see if I can catch a dream

Guitarist Ryan Ross explained to VH1 about "She Had The World", "That was one of the songs that took the longest. It was kind of a work in progress over the whole writing process. That was one we did in the summer. No one was that excited about it. Then I changed it a few days before we were going to track it, and it ended up being a lot cooler than I thought it was going to turn out."

The original title of this song was "Snooze Me, Ms. Britches".

An alternative version of this track exists with the same lyrics but with a different melody.
