  • Something's in the air tonight
    The sky's alive with a burning light
    You can mark my words something's about to break

    And I found myself in a bitter fight
    While I've held your hand through the darkest night
    Don't know where your coming from, but your coming soon

    To a kid from Oregon by way of California
    All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

    Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
    Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
    Come on, and we'll try, one last time
    I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

    And here we go
    There's nothing left to choose
    And here we go
    There's nothing left to lose

    So I packed my car and headed east
    Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
    There's a fire in these hills that's coming down

    And I don't know much, but I found you here
    And I cannot wait another year
    Don't know where your coming from, but you coming soon

    To a kid from Oregon by way of California
    All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

    Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
    Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
    Come on, and we'll try, one last time
    I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

    And here we go
    There's nothing left to choose
    And here we go
    There's nothing left to lose

    I can still hear the trains out my window
    From Hobart street to here in Nashville
    I can still smell the pomegranates grow
    And I don't know how hard this wind will blow
    Or where we'll go

    Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
    Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
    Come on, and we'll try, one last time
    I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

    Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
    Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
    Come on, and we'll try, one last time
    I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

    Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
    Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us

    And here we go
    There's nothing left to choose
    And here we go
