And when the mighty sea is heaving And the mountain's gotten big What anyone believes in I never gave a fig
But I could never fully handle The heart that bore the load Something never spoken Something forever owed
Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home No I will never really be free While you live in my memory
In awe and almost fearful But I'll bet that you don't care You're most likely thinking About your brother still back there
Till I can bring him home Till I can bring you home I will never really be free While you live in my memory
I can never have it taken But I wanted you to know That forever we're connected you and me It doesn't matter where it goes There are things we simply owe
Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home
Till I can bring you home Till I can bring you home No I will never really be free While you live in my memory
Gonna get wild if it's ok I don't need your blessing anyway But I get crazy crazy sometimes I just wanna warn you
So get out your camera, gather round Gonna get to the rhythm gonna get on down Bring your rock candy, bring Uncle Buck Escape is in progress, care to try your luck?
Kick out the back door into whatever will drive And cling to the shoulder till the night is alive When you're lost in the wilderness you know you're there And dust off your feet and put your hands in the air
And oh, it never rains You and me and these two lanes And oh, the endless skies You and me and everything just flies
It don't mean much if it isn't fun But since we're already on the run It'd be crazy crazy even if we thought of stopping now
So settle your affairs and reap what you sow Just reap it in the car cause we gots to go Launching up the highway like a catapult Don't you look back or you're a pillar of salt
So up jumped the devil got his hand to your ear And he wants to say what you want to hear With the pedal to the metal we're a kettle and pot Running deep into the black ink given whatever we've got
And oh, it never rains You and me and these two lanes And oh, the endless skies You and me and everything just flies
Now you can take it on faith from my boy bourgeois Wild if it's ok Don't you drive too fast cause it's against the law Wild if it's ok
I get a little wild if it's ok Because I can drive me one more day Into this crazy crazy crazy crazy wide open world
And oh, it never rains You and me and these two lanes Oh, the open skies You and me and everything just flies
You and me and everything You and me and everything
She lies out on the grass Her bellybutton fascinates me If summer never came and went I doubt that it would ever faze me
Broken in a moment of what once had been I look within to see her face My fingers start to reach to taste But all they meet is my own lips
Time is fleeting Time's a-wasting And time is bleeding Forever racing And time is money And money is time But love does none of these Love does none of these
She'll twirl and spin me 'round And never let go of the hold she has From heaven's rafter to the ground And back and forth, and twice as fast
Transit in the blink of her big brown eyes And all is right or wrong with the world More the heart of me Than as some would say "just some girl"
Time is fleeting Time's a-wasting Time is bleeding Forever racing And time is money And money is time But love does none of these Love does none of these
But my heart beats as we say goodnight Hoping for a kiss And this feeling I get to keep Love can most definitely let me do this
She's the only thing that shines Among the murky gels of pink and blue Club speakers make their noise But they can't drown out what is true
Captured in the passion of an honest smile And last call leaves us little else I reach for her to make her turn But all I meet is my own lips
Time is fleeting Time's a-wasting Time is bleeding Forever racing Time is money And money is time But love does none of these Love does none of these
Oh precious life How you loved to lie to me So recklessly fragile So beyond my power to see And yet so demanding By making me believe That I am standing In the way of my own reprieve
That all our days are numbered No matter the amount There's a first and then at last There is finally the fact That the numerals just don't count And all our time is borrowed No deposit, no return And no promise of tomorrow or the next day What was lent you can never earn
If I took care of you And loved you all your days I'd still have to let you go Cause nothing ever stays You taught me to stand And then you left the job to me Now as a man I'm finally forced to see
That all our days are numbered No matter the amount There's a first and then at last There is finally the fact That the numerals just don't count And all our time is borrowed No deposit, no return And no promise of tomorrow or the next day What was lent you can never earn What was lent you can never earn What was lent you can never earn What was lent you can never earn
When our toasters finally come to kill us A creator complex will fulfill us Follow me down to the road ahead Where we mean everything that we've ever said Destination overload it can't be tamed And nothing or no one is to blame
Sooner or later We're all beacons of yesteryear You've gotta love or hate us We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Put down your map son we're GPS'ing The system don't know with who it's messing Evolution crap shooter watch your scene We're the proud parents of the big machine Mutated strains like a frog to a toad But ours comes with a bar code
Sooner or later We're all beacons of yesteryear You've gotta love or hate us We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Hickory, trickery, dickory dock I need me a stronger faster clock One that comes with wheels and a Bluetooth phone God forbid I ever have to be alone
Sooner or later We're all beacons of yesteryear You've gotta love or hate us We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Sooner or later We're all beacons of yesteryear You've gotta love or hate us We'll see you soon, baby, don't you fear
Sway with me for one more dance And holding me closely meet my eyes And I would ask for nothing more I'm asking for another chance To my own infinite surprise I've never moved like this before
It only remains to say I love you And I suppose I always will And though I walk away As I replay my better days I'll not betray What time can't heal or kill
A single instant of reprieve I am no longer resembling The man I was, I'm the man you see Try to exhale in my relief But I am also trembling You brought the best hope out of me
It only remains to say I love you And I suppose I always will And though I walk away As I replay my better days I will not betray What time can't heal or kill
Gently I stumble To the music as it strums The heavens all crumble 'Neath this moment we've become My heart keeps calling me Closer and stalling me Catch me I'm falling Though the dancing's long since done
If I'm in trouble; if I'm alone If I'm a runaway, don't send me home I want to be with you If I saw you now would nothing change Tell me to grow up or act my age Like I always do Maybe surrender another chance Or only just give me one more dance
It only remains to say I love you And I suppose I always will And though I walk away As I replay my better days I will not betray What time can't heal or kill
It only remains to say I love you And I suppose I always will And though I walk away As I replay my better days I will not betray What time can't heal or kill
In the international rumble She takes a chance and comes to me And falling through the cracks we tumble Not far at all but enough to see We've come to rest our backs against the rubble Of a future in uncertainty
"And I'm so glad you're here" she said "And I hate that you're here" she said "I wish I didn't need you so much To be here"
It's funny meeting anyone this way But there she goes Walking her last runway The queen of Sarajevo
We communicate in broken English And nervous sighs and apprehension As fascinated we are standing witness No alcohol could quell the tension No kind of clever joke or small talk in this No fate denies our soul connection
"And I'm so glad you're here" she said "And I hate that you're here" she said "I wish I didn't need you so much To be here"
It's funny meeting anyone this way But there she goes Walking her last runway The queen of Sarajevo
They say that in the west the blues comes easy And the night belongs to the one who plays But it's the ancient souls that breathe them deeply For the bluest heart is the one who stays
It's funny meeting anyone this way But there she goes Watch her walk her last runway The queen of Sarajevo
And it's so funny to be living this way But it's time to go Leave you standing on the runway The queen of Sarajevo The queen of Sarajevo
