I saw the future outside of a dive bar
Sweet-talkin' someone for a cigarette
Standin' uncomfortably close to a cop car
And wearin' a halo around your neck
There was somethin' I wanted to ask for
But I felt it freeze on the tip of my tongue
Like a shivering kid at the edge of a springboard
In front of his mom, God, and everyone
So let me go wherever you go
Carry me away, let me be a daydreamer for now
While my head's in the clouds with you
Well this place could fall apart
But I'm an optimist at heart
And at least I'm gonna find out with you
If we're bound to let it burn past the point of no return
Then at least I'm gonna burn down with you
Oh, at least I'm gonna burn down with you
Most of my friends bought a house in their hometowns
And know what they're namin' their second child
I bought the last open seat on a Greyhound
And followed the future for a thousand miles
I'd give you the world but why go to the bother?
It's gonna be worthless in thirty years
St. James in flames and Miami underwater
It'll be like we were never here
So let me go wherever you go
Carry me away, let me be a daydreamer for now
While my head's in the clouds with you
Well this place could fall apart
But I'm an optimist at heart
And at least I'm gonna find out with you
If we're bound to let it burn past the point of no return
Then at least I'm gonna burn down with you
