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 nowhere 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

Oh, Oh

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 wait 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

Oh, Oh

Take us wherever you go.
