Central Reservation (Original version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Running down to central reservation in last night's red dress And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath Stepping through brilliant shades of the colour you bring This time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean [Verse 2] If this is where memories are made, I'm gonna like what I see And everything I ever took for granted, I'm gonna let it be I step through every shade of the colour you bring But this time, this time, this time is whatever I want it to mean [Chorus] And everything and nothing Is as sacred as we'd want it to be When it's real, make it real Compared to what Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 3] It's like living in the middle of the ocean with no future, no past And everything that's good about now, well, might just glide right past I'm stepping through brilliant shades of the colour you bring This time, this time, this time is fine just as it is [Chorus] And everything is sacred here And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be When it's real Compared to what Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Ad-libs and scat singing]
