last night i drove out to the airports and watched the planes landing and taking off again.
i wondered about each person on each plane,
and wondered if any of them wondered about me.
i felt so small. and i kinda liked it.
"keep your eyes on the prize" i hear you say.
"build my kingdom. seek after me."
"but where am i supposed to live?" i ask you.
i can't just live off of my hopes and dreams.
but through my tears i decide that i trust you.
you will find a way for me.
Nothing left to Lose
something’s in the air tonight
the sky's alive with a burning light
you can mark my words something's about to break
and i found myself in a bitter fight
while i've held your hand through the darkest night
don't know where your coming from but your coming soon
to a kid from oregon by way of california
all of this is more than i've ever known or seen
come on and we'll sing, like we were free
push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
come on and we'll try, one last time
i'm off of the floor one more time to find you
and here we go there's nothing left to choose
and here we go there's nothing left to lose
so i packed my car and headed east
where i felt your fire and a sweet release
there's a fire in these hills thats coming down
and i don't know much but i found you here
and i can not wait another year
don't know where your coming from but you coming soon
to a kid from oregon by way of california
all of this is more than i’ve ever known or seen
come on and we'll sing, like we were free
push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
come on and we'll try, one last time
i'm off of the floor one more time to find you
and here we go there's nothing left to choose
and here we go there's nothing left to lose
i can still hear the trains out my window
from hobart street to here in nashville
i can still smell the pomegranates grow
and i don't know how hard this wind will blow
or where we'll go
come on and we'll sing, like we were free
push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
come on and we'll try, one last time
i'm off of the floor one more time to find you
and here we go there's nothing left to choose
and here we go there's nothing left to lose
