I could see colors like the northern lights
Pirouette across your summer dress
There was an ounce of Scandinavia in the way your
Dark blonde hair fell past your neck
There wasn't a Berlin philharmonic,
Just the birds above our heads
There wasn't a Turkish threaded carpet,
Just a blanket checkered red
But there was a Serengeti wideness to the silence
After everybody left
Visions in my head...
Yea I, yea I
Just sitting here thinking that I've
Never been around the world but now I got it all in sight
So come and close your eyes, forget the reasons why
We'd ever wanna leave this house if we can go around the world tonight
I could see LA in the way you smiled,
New York in the way you didn't care
I could see Tokyo lights in the moonlit sky,
Paris through light-bulbs strung in the air
I could see Scotland green in the backyard we were lying on that June
We had our Cape Town table mountain
Topped with cheapest takeout food
I could hear Cairo streets in the sound of the trees
And Mumbai in the distant city tune
And when I saw that view...
Yea I, yea I
Just sitting here thinking that I've
Never been around the world but now I got it all in sight
So come and close your eyes, forget the reasons why
We'd ever wanna leave this house if we can go around the world tonight
So we walked down New Zealand mountains of memories
And we talked while sipping on glasses of Italy
We found out there might be sights that we'll never see
And mountains that we wont reach but the worlds in front of my eyes
Yea I
Just sitting here thinking that I've
Never been around the world but now I got it all in sight
So come and close your eyes, forget the reasons why
We'd ever wanna leave this house
If we can go around the world tonight
We don't have to leave this house, if we can around the world tonight
We don't have to leave this house, if we can around the world tonight
