The Mountain Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shawn Mendes]
I took a trip to the mountain
I took a trip to the sea
I took a sip from the fountain
I took a pill to be free

[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes]
And you can say it was drugs
You can say it was God
You can say it was aliens
You can say I lost the plot

[Chorus: Shawn Mendes]
You can say I'm a dreamer
You can say I'm too far gone
But I saw something out there
So call it what you want

[Verse 2: Shawn Mendes]
I spent a week in the jungle
Swore I came out a new man
Back to LA I was humble
Turns out I don't understand

[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes]
You can say it's love
You can say it's a cult
You can always blame the woman
It's gotta be her fault

[Chorus: Shawn Mendes]
You can say I'm a dreamer
You can say I'm too far gone
But I feel something different
So call it what you want
Call it what you want

[Bridge: Shawn Mendes]
Some days I take things way too far
Some days I have a change of heart
You can say what you need to say

[Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes]
You can say I'm too young
You can say I'm too old
You can say I like girls or boys
Whatеver fits your mold
You can say I'm a fool

[Chorus: Shawn Mendes]
You can say I'm a dreamer
You can say I'm too far gonе
But I feel never better
So call it what you want

[Outro: Shawn Mendes]
Call it what you want, yeah
Call it what you want, no, no, no
Call it what you want, yeah, yeah
