I saw the future outside of a dive bar Sweet-talkin' someone for a cigarette Standin' uncomfortably close to a cop car And wearin' a halo around your neck There was somethin' I wanted to ask for But I felt it freeze on the tip of my tongue Like a shivering kid at the edge of a springboard In front of his mom, God, and everyone So let me go wherever you go Carry me away, let me be a daydreamer for now While my head's in the clouds with you Well this place could fall apart But I'm an optimist at heart And at least I'm gonna find out with you If we're bound to let it burn past the point of no return Then at least I'm gonna burn down with you Oh, at least I'm gonna burn down with you Most of my friends bought a house in their hometowns And know what they're namin' their second child I bought the last open seat on a Greyhound And followed the future for a thousand miles I'd give you the world but why go to the bother? It's gonna be worthless in thirty years St. James in flames and Miami underwater It'll be like we were never here So let me go wherever you go Carry me away, let me be a daydreamer for now While my head's in the clouds with you Well this place could fall apart But I'm an optimist at heart And at least I'm gonna find out with you If we're bound to let it burn past the point of no return Then at least I'm gonna burn down with you (Miami underwater) (Miami underwater) ♪ If we're bound to let it burn past the point of no return Then at least I'm gonna burn down with you ♪ So let me go wherever you go Carry me away, let me be a daydreamer for now While my head's in the clouds with you Well this place could fall apart But I'm an optimist at heart And at least I'm gonna find out with you If we're bound to let it burn past the point of no return Then at least I'm gonna burn down with you Oh, at least I'm gonna burn down with you
