On a fast train, like a runaway
I escape
From a world of black and white to technicolors
And warmer summers
When love was younger
Is it all just in my head
And it feels so real to me
I could swear it’s reality
So if I’m asleep, don’t wake me
PRECHORUS
Leave me down in the water, leave me in over my head
Let the wind take me farther, out to where the water ends
And my song begins
CHORUS
Leave me in over my head
To where the water ends
Leave me in over my head
To where the water ends
And my song begins
