Lyrics
Verse 1
Across the street, the river runs
Down in the gutter, life is slippin' away
Let me still exist in another place
Runnin' undercover of a helicopter blade
The flames are gettin' higher in effigy
Burnin' down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere, some way
Where they're downin' only deer
A hundred steel towns away
Chorus
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'
Verse 2
Photographs, kerosine
Light my darkness, light it up, light it up
Love may still be alive somewhere, some way
Where they're downin' only deer
A hundred steel towns away
Chorus
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'
Bridge
Oh, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I'll be sailin'
Oh, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I'll be sailin'
Chorus
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'
Outro
Oh, the rhythm of my heart
Is beatin' like a drum
With the words "I love you"
Rollin' off my tongue
Oh, never will I roam
Now I know my place is home
Where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailin'
