It's not the life we chose but it's the only life we know.
So let's make the most and take what we can get.
Racing hearts and lying tongues,
Lovers living on the run,
Praying that there finally comes a day that we can stop, settle oceanside, swim into the deep blue and never worry about who's chasing us.
The saltwater washes all our sins away. The sunlight blinds our eyes into thinking we're okay.
We're not okay.
We're lost in a dream we told ourselves was true.
We're lost in a dream.
Don't look now but I think we're being tailed. Eyes on the road,
Eyes on the prize.
Sirens wailing in a frenzy of flashing lights. We're not going down,
Not without a fight.
We're running low on gas, lower on time. We'll never get past the California line. Momma said if you love, you must sacrifice. But I promised there would come a time where we'd stop, settle oceanside, swim into the deep blue and never worry about who's chasing us.
The saltwater washes all our sins away. The sunlight blinds our eyes into thinking we're okay.
We're not okay.
We're lost in a dream we told ourselves was true.
We're lost in a dream.
I'm not a martyr but I found a cause worth dying for.
I won't stop.
I'll drive off the mountainside.
Sink into the deep blue and never worry about who's chasing us.
The saltwater washes all our sins away. The sunlight blinds our eyes into thinking we're okay.
We'll be okay.
We found the dream that we told ourselves was true.
We found our dream.
I'm not a martyr but I found a cause worth dying for.
Worth dying for.
