You and me, babe, we had our sights set on something
Somewhere, some time ago
But the times been driftin' and the moods been shiftin'
From the places that we used to know
We played all our aces, put on our best faces
And rode out into the fire
Though our hearts were young, the songs we sung
Didn't make it, didn't make it under the wire
But I know, we can make it
I really know, we can make it
Though I may fall out of reach of the wall
I'm gonna carry on
What we had, babe, was so good at the start
So high, thought we'd never come down
When we ran for the line, we got so far behind
Oh, we ran, lost in the sound
Though we had our fun, we got burnt in the sun
As the sepia light filled our eyes
We got so far off course, like a riderless horse
We were stranded, stranded way out of sight
I know we can make it
I really know we can make it out of here
I know I may fall out of reach of the wall
I'm gonna carry on, I'm gonna carry on
'Cause I believe we can make it, I know we can
I really know, we're gonna make it out of here
And I want you to know, it's real
This is the way I feel, we're gonna make it out of here
Spinning into the future with the reckless abandon
Of a madman who reasons in haste
Spilling out of my depth in a timeless excursion
Like a hand reaches out into space
And we lost control and maybe our soul
In our rush for immaculate truth
There was lust in our eyes, too many lies
And we splashed down, we splashed down, in our own misspent youth
I know we can make it
I really know we can make it out of here
I know I may fall out of reach of the wall
I'm gonna carry on, I'm gonna carry on
I do believe we can work it out, I know we can
I really know, we're gonna make it tonight
And I want you to know, it's real
This is the way I feel, we're gonna make it
'Cause baby, you know it's real, this is the way I feel
I want you to know, it's real
We'll make it out of here, I can feel it in the air
I'm breakin' out of here 'cause baby, you know it's real
This is the way I feel
You know that it's real
