Take me somewhere nice,
To some tired island in your heart called,
Paradise,
Though we both walk 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,
When we'll rendevouz 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 tows us back down this older street,
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,
Upon the great divide, I wake up beside myself just to know I'm alive,
Every weight around pays me a visit and drags my islands down,

And they sting like growing pains,
Iced in the veins of the 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 older street,
We'll say, hello, oh, oh, take us wherever you go.
