lyrics

We thought we could move,
Someplace where life was worth a little bit more.
We've got nothing to lose,
So on your way out don't bother locking the door.

We rolled in with the clouds
And in the humid heat started rolling around
And made love at the side of the street.

I don't want to care,
Who decided that life was about getting somewhere?
I want to feel the wind in my hair.
I may not thrive but I know I'll survive.
Freedom is looking for a peace I won't find.

We drove down to the sea
And bought some fish of the boat,
No longer swimming up stream.
We just decided to float.
And on that dark windy shore we built a fire
And the darkness made you shine even more.
How could you shine even more?

How could you shine even more?
How could you shine even more?
How could you shine even more?
You're gonna burn yourself out,
You're like a falling star...
