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 no where 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 row 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...
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 weight 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...
Take us wherever you go!
