Lyrics
Texarkana
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.
20.000 miles to an oasis
20.000 years will I burn
20.000 chances I've wasted
Waiting for the moment to turn
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
Walking through the woods, I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
30.000 thoughts have been wasted
Never in my time to return
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
All my life
Waiting to find
40.000 stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
40.000 reasons for living
40.000 tears in your eyes
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
