[Intro] These streets were drawn before our time In careful straight lines You put your hand against the glass And trace a road they couldn't find [Verse 1] You said this town was getting small Like every turn brought us back here Up on the wall, a painted sun It hasn't moved in twenty years [Pre-Chorus] We rise above the avenue The city opens up for you A pulse of green, a note of gold The next horizon comes in close [Chorus] Come on, come on, we’re taking the high way Over the river, over the bay Come on, come on, let the whole world move The future’s got a pocket full of room [Verse 2] Across the bay the roofs dissolve in light The cranes stand still above the pier Somebody waves from down below We wave, then slowly disappear [Pre-Chorus] We rise above the avenue The city opens up for you A pulse of green, a note of gold The next horizon comes in close [Chorus] Come on, come on, we’re taking the high way Over the river, over the bay Come on, come on, let the whole world move The future’s got a pocket full of room [Instrumental] [Bridge] The world didn't end where they drew the line Turns out the sky was never theirs or mine You and me, the open road Only thing we own is where we choose to go [Final Chorus] Come on, come on, we’re taking the high way Over the river, over the bay Come on, come on, let the whole world move The future’s got a pocket full of room [Outro] Those old streets fade out of view And every mile feels overdue
