Power Lines

Lyrics

[Verse 1] First time I looked straight into her eyes I saw the future, I saw bluer skies Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh Even when I'm lonely I am always surprised all Of the ways you told me to keep my eye on the prize [Chorus 1] You and your photographic memory You and your photographic memory [Verse 2] I'm a broken man, I'm damaged goods Lock me in the basement with furnace soot You came along in your party dress I climbed a mountain under house arrest [Chorus 2] When we were kids, I swear we were power lines Out on some journey, searching for some better minds [Bridge] You can't cut it out, no you can't keep it out of line Looking for the pavement Looking like we're running out of time And I am yours and you are mine [Verse 3] Batten down the hatches and man the sails The war isn't over, it's not even tipped the scales Run down the tracks like a bat out of hell Don't muss up your hair because we're destined to fail [Chorus 3] When I was young, I thought I was a power line When I was young, I was searching for some better time
