Take me somewhere nice
To some tired island
In your heart called
Paradise
Though we wander home
We both feel alone Like escapees with nowhere to go
I can think of a thousand ways
To get good and lost Beyond these hopeless days
Where we'll rendezvous
Out of the blue, And take a deep breath, Just we two.
And we'll be so far gone,
The oars will roll on and we will happily, Wave so long.
If we hook a dream,
And it tows us back down this open stream
We'll say hello. Oh, oh,
Take us wherever you go.
Take me somewhere deep,
'Cause I'm quite exhausted and I need to sleep.
Or climb the great divide,
Or wake up beside myself, Just to know I'm alive.
Every wait around
Pays me a visit and Drags my eyelids down
They sting like growing pains
Iced in the veins of a guy who's not ready to die.
If I may be so bold,
I'll weather the cold,
'Cause I'm not afraid To grow old.
If we hook a dream,
And it tows us back down this open stream,
We'll say hello. Oh, oh,
Take us wherever you go
