Take Me Somewhere Nice

1. Take me somewhere nice
To some tired island in your heart called paradise
Though we wonder 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 do
And we'll be so far gone, the oars will roll on
And we will happily wave so long.

[Chorus:]
If we hook a train
And it tows us back down this open stream
We'll say, hello, oh, oh
Take us wherever you go.

2. Take me somewhere deep
'Cause I'm quite exhausted and I need to sleep
I'll climb the great divide
I'll wake up beside myself just to know I'm alive.

Every weight around
Pays me a visit, drags my eyelids down.

And they sting like growing pains
Iced in the pains 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.
