Are you ready?
|
|
Been down this street so many times,
|
Could hit the gas and close my eyes.
|
And not touch a thing.
|
|
|
The doorways here are always dark,
|
Keep movin', it's not safe to park.
|
'Cause this ain't no lover's lane.
|
|
It's where infatuation goes,
|
You hit this long, strange stretch of road.
|
And you don't know where it leads.
|
|
But if we're goin' anywhere,
|
Only this'll take us there.
|
So, baby, hold your breath,
|
And wrap your arms around me, yeah.
|
|
Here we go now, a little closer,
|
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
|
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
|
On this road:
|
The road to lasting love.
|
|
Look into the rear view mirror,
|
Remember all that got us here.
|
We're gonna need it later.
|
|
Out the window, all around,
|
Dreams in pieces on the ground,
|
'Cause it won't be easy, baby.
|
|
You know if faith and hope and trust,
|
Ain't ridin' in these hearts with us,
|
This trip's gonna break on me.
|
|
|
Oh, I've never seen the other side,
|
But, girl, when you look in my eyes,
|
I've seen it out there,
|
I believe that we can make it, baby.
|
|
Here we go now, a little closer,
|
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
|
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
|
On this road:
|
The road to lasting love.
|
|
There's a light up ahead that we all wanna reach.
|
So we grab every chance that we can.
|
But we lose and get lost.
|
Just a few get across,
|
This broken promise land.
|
|
Here we go now, a little closer,
|
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
|
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
|
On this road:
|
This road to lasting love.
|
|
Here we go now, a little closer,
|
Keep your head down on my shoulder.
|
We're on our way but it's gonna get rough,
|
On this road:
|
This road to lasting love.
|
|
Road to lasting love.
|
Road to lasting love.
