Give in, into the blue sky

Into the gold eye of what is possible

Give in one in a million

You be the engine of what is possible

When tomorrow comes we'll be there after all

All the oracles are fading

When our odysseys are hanging on the wall

And our yesterdays parading

It's you and me against history

It doesn't have to be the way it's always been

You and me against history

We'll never let it be that way again

Sell off all of your old lives

All of the cold lies and get impossible

Sell off all of the no ones

Will never be dones and get impossible

When tomorrow comes we'll sing it after all

All the monitors are ringing

When the cold day dawns we'll be there on the lawn

Now another world's beginning

It's you and me against history

It doesn't have to be the way it's always been

You and me against history

We're never gonna be the same as them

And all of the days of my life unwind

Like the towers of a telephone line

Alongside the interstate

And either direction is far from home

Stars make a line leading from the road

And i am an arrow that knows where to go

It's you and me against history

It doesn't have to be

It doesn't have to be the way it's always been

You and me against history

We're never never never never be the same as them

Get impossible
