The Right Key
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.
It's like the world is waiting
For a sign from our hearts
A signal to start
I feel my chains are breaking
Emotional barriers
That have kept us apart
All of our lives wasted
On blind ambition
We need the time to try
We've got the right key
Turned in the wrong direction
The right dream
Waking up too fast
It's a long road
Full of good intentions
And, Girl, if we take it
I know we can make it last
Why don't we
Talk it over
There on our battlefield
Surrender together
Yeah
And while the world is watching
We'll send out a message that will
Last forever
All of our lives wanting
The right conditions
We need the time to try
We've got the right key
Turned in the wrong direction
The right dream
Waking up too fast
It's a long road
Full of good intentions
And, Girl, if we take it
I know we can make it last
We can make it
Girl, we can make it last
We can make it last, baby
Girl, if we take it
I know we can make it last
