I know it's over

You know it's over

We're just goin' through the motions

But we're sailin' separate oceans world's apart

And you know it's breakin' my heart

I was a dreamer

You were a dreamer

But perfection is consuming

And it seems we're only human after all

And we've both been takin' the fall

But tomorrow

We'll run a little bit faster

Tomorrow

We're gonna find what we're after at last

Feelings that we left in the past

There's romance in the sunset

We're boats against the current to the end

Maybe we're older

Maybe we're colder

So we disregard solutions

While we cling to our illusions once again

And we keep rememberin' when

Seasons are changin'

Reasons are changin'

But the story isn't ending

So we find ourselves pretending one more day

While the years keep slippin' away

But tomorrow

We'll run a little bit faster

Tomorrow

We're gonna find what we're after at last

Feelings that we left in the past

There's romance in the sunset

We're boats against the current to the end
