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 continent's sliding?
In ten million years, we're colliding
At least we won't have to be flying
Isn't it nice to imagine?
In twenty 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

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

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
