take me somewhere nice

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.
