Warsaw

I’ve spent half my damn life stuck behind this desk I wonder to myself why can’t we just leave out all the rest And slip away into the pouring rain Hopefully, to never be seen again Oh I hope so, I hope so Well as these vivid sunsets pass us by And on my shoulder, your golden tears, they fall you cry We promised ourselves when we left, we’d never ask why With regretful glances scattered across our face, this is goodbye Is this goodbye? Sometimes my emotions they catch a hold of me And never let me go, forever the distant memory If we could close our eyes and make the wish I wonder how similar the both of ours is I’d wish to find a new way back home But you’d just wish to go back the same way you’ve come The papers say someday, we’re gonna’ have to face the truth But we don’t mind, just waste our memories in photo booths At this point, love, we’ve not much to lose We’ve got our freedom of choice, but we’ve chosen not to choose We caught with the current and were spirited away Never to return, at least not today, Tomorrow, or yesterday Sometimes I reflect on all these lessons I’ve learned And sometimes I wonder if my self-respect was ever truly earned We’ll never head back until the final prairie burns Yet in the end, we too will burn Darling, we’ve gotta’ wait our turn And so we’re headed off to Warsaw A dream across the ocean But now we’ve reached the end we’re headed home Our past never held us down, we didn’t allow Suddenly amidst the storm the sun breaks through somehow So we turn back We’re going back And so we’re headed back to Warsaw Our dream across the oceans
