Against History
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
