somewhere i wanna go

here's the thing about your memory

it could be a thousand miles it could be as many days

but when it's sweeping over me

i'm so powerless it just caries me away. and where it's taking me i never know

the only thing that i can do is hope

it's somewhere i wanna go. not that january night under that street light

with the snow falling all around

and i'm telling you things that i don't really mean

but they just keep coming out

and i see your unbelieving tears

your speechless breath hanging in the air

and i watch you throw your ring out in the snow

and there i wait until your mem'ry goes

somewhere i wanna go. like that weekend when we just took off

driving in that april sun anywhere the feeling went

we ended up in montreal

couldn't understand a word but we learned to laugh in french

where you memory wants to take me i don't know

the only thing that i can do is hope

it's somewhere i wanna go. not that january night under that street light

with the snow falling all around

and i'm telling you things that i don't really mean

but they just keep coming out

and i see your unbelieving tears

your speechless breath hanging in the air

and i watch you throw your ring out in the snow

and there i wait until your mem'ry goes

somewhere i wanna go. make it somewhere i wanna go

somewhere i wanna go

dancing down at mardi gras

that little motel room in arkansas

the nights we just sat up and talked

somewhere i wanna go

make it somewhere i wanna go.
