lyrics

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.
