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 row on
And we will happily wave so long
If we hook a dream, and it doze us back down this open stream
We'll say hello
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 weight around pays me a visit and drags my eyelids down
They sting my 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 doze us back down this open stream
We'll say hello
Take us wherever you go
