It occurs to me, that life won't ever be the same

Now that the ocean's far away, from me

I believe that we were never meant to flee

But time and money let the bird cage swing

So we flew (Ooh), until the air was a little thicker

And the sky was a little more blue

Ooh, when the dialect grew funny

And our claws planted roots

Now I see how precious your love can truly be

When it's just you and and it's just me, alone

And you bring me up, when I'm so high and I'm so low

A selfless slave unto my soul until we're old

We bid adieu, like a two person chain gang

With nothing left to lose

Ooh, breaking rocks and tied with locks

And clad with steel and orange suits

Count to three

Not your holy ghost, but me, and our family

We're all we've got

At least for the time being

So let's not fall asleep or retreat

So we flew (Ooh), until the air was a little thicker

And the sky was a little more blue

Ooh, when the dialect grew funny

That's where our claws planted roots
