lyrics

Miles we come, babe, and miles to go
Can't believe what my footprints show.
Wobbling 'cross this timeline stretched from birth to being dead,
Must I go straight, can I go left instead?

When did you step into my territory?
When where you written into my story?
Miles to come and still so many in between
How many frames until we're in the same scene?

You dream your dreams and I'll dream my dreams
And we'll meet up when we're ready to wake up...
But until then - call me on a weekend, dear,
Come and see me once a year,
Just let me know you're breathing and when we're done teething...
Something solid we'll start, but until then, guess we're apart.

This world aint for children, or so they say.
Then how come I love it most when we play?
Don't ride through it tandem, every man for himself,
But that's only true as long as you've got your health.

When did I step into your territory?
When was I written into your story?
Doors we've opened, babe, and doors we've sealed,
But the hallway's long and only one and a time is revealed...

You dream your dreams and I'll dream my dreams
And we'll meet up when we're ready to wake up...
But until then - call me on a weekend, dear,
Come and see me once a year,
Just let me know you're breathing and when we're done teething...
Something solid we'll start, but until then, guess we're apart.
