and the government too!

eyes closed

i'm in my own little lifeboat

a few hundred miles off the west coast

wishing i always had you close

drifting beside me

but i know

if it were as simple as boarding

a flight to you, i would be soaring

you say goodnight but it's morning

perfectly fine

but i know

if you came here tonight

and i looked in your eyes

i would hold you so close

if i ever let go

i don't think i'd survive

oh, the things I would do

just to be here with you

i would scream at the stars

for keeping us apart

and the government too

did you know that the continents sliding?

in 10 million years we're colliding

at least we won't have to be flying

isn't it nice

to imagine?

in 20 years we'll all be laughing

one of our kids will be asking

since you both made all this happen

how does it feel to just know

if you came here tonight

and i looked in your eyes

i would hold you so close

if i ever let go

i don't think i'd survive

oh, the things I would do

just to be here with you

i would scream at the stars

for keeping us apart

and the government too

how does it feel to just know

if you came here tonight

and i looked in your eyes

i would hold you so close

if i ever let go

i don't think i'd survive

oh, the things I would do

just to be here with you

i would scream at the stars

for keeping us apart

and the government too
