Not long ago, I didn’t know when I put my arms around you that you would tell your last story. Went from a diner to a junkyard where the sunset was gold. Now every moment is glorious.
Because dreams at the speed of light surround us and it’s so hard to let go.
Oh, when these dreams are the seeds in a life that found us, and I don’t want to grow up without you.
Bird hit the three. You look at me. We scream out loud together.
Kareem took the hook shot. No one could stop it. No one was better.
Not every car starts in the cold, you need a manual choke.
Not every tailfin is a ’59 DeSoto
Because dreams at the speed of light surround us and it’s so hard to let go.
Oh, when these dreams are the seeds in a life that found us, and I don’t want to go on without you now…
Storm breaks centuries of heartache. I know he can’t stay, though it doesn’t feel right. Clear skies, look into my dad’s eyes. I see that he needs me. There’s not much time. Oh, our love doesn’t end when our bodies die.
Dreams at the speed of light surround us and it’s so hard to let go.
Oh, when these dreams are the seeds in a life that found us, and I don’t want to go on without you.
Dreams at the speed of light surround us and it’s so hard to let go.
When these dreams are the seed in a life that found us, and I don’t want to go on without you.

Catch Your Breath

Stay with me now. It seems we finally ran too far, somehow. And I can’t believe it. But I won’t look away. Is there anyone to make this okay? Did I say, I can hold my breath for fifteen minutes? Go!
Sometimes the ocean mist reminds me of your ghost in the belly of that sea-monster city. Sometimes the hardest part is trying to catch your breath. Roll a twenty for the land of Tennessee.
Bugatti was missed, but he was a dragon and we didn’t see the twist coming. I’m crying underwater. So, I grow out my tail. You left a carousel empty and Lottera pale. Under the sail, I saw you holding hands with the dungeon master.
Sometimes the ocean mist reminds me of your ghost in the belly of that sea-monster city. Sometimes the hardest part is trying to catch your breath. Roll a twenty for the land of Tennessee.
Catch your breath now. Catch your breath now. Catch your breath now. Catch your breath.
I hope the Wellerman will fix it all again, like Brünhilde let us always drink for free.
Sometimes the hardest part is trying to catch your breath. Roll a twenty for the land of Tennessee.

A Tear in the Ocean

All that’s left, dreams at the water’s edge. All I am, a tear in the ocean.
I take one last look at our place, the one we had dreamed about, the one I framed the page.
And put the money in the bank, oh possibilities, a sanctuary on a rainy day.
All that’s left, dreams at the water’s edge. All I am, a tear in the ocean.
I wrote the words down to this song. Another sleepless night to calm my fears, my confidante. They’re always empty in such a mess, I guess. They never really work but still we try to do our best.
All that’s left, dreams at the water’s edge. All I am, a tear in the ocean.
A tear in the ocean, all that’s left
A tear in the ocean, all I am, a tear in the ocean.

On rainy days, I spend my time contemplating all the notes we leave behind.
I saw the future rich in song, but I’ve seen them take a love like ours, turn it into something wrong.
Silent fever, run away. By fall I know I’ll break the glass, just need a little more time.
Oh, navigator, I am lost and out of control.
All I need is a melody. All you need is a friend to be a little bit closer when it’s hard.
All I need is a melody. All you need is the ground beneath when you feel this friendship coming apart.
I need the medicine to heal me. I need to bear the weight of infinite possibilities.
Oh, gladiator, I am stronger than the whole world.
All I need is a melody. All you need is a friend to be a little bit closer when it’s hard.
All I need is a melody. All you need is the ground beneath when you feel this friendship coming apart.
