Crossing every ocean for the sake of locomotion
Across every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can't say no to you
I can't say no I can't say yes
I can't even write down my own address
I can't touch heaven it's a little too far
It's the only way to travel
Got dreaming on a par
I'm staring through the window
Wondering where you are
Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour
Across every nation
From the harbour to the station
It's a form of inspiration
It's a power to the state
They run down the railways
Sail across the seaways
Fly through the airways
But they can't say no
To you
I can't stand up I can't stand still
I know you wouldn't like it if I told you how I feel
I just want to say that it's only common sense
But the words always fail me at my own expense
I'm staring out the window
Wonder where you are
Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour
Across every ocean
For the sake of locomotion
But I wouldn't have a notion
How to save my soul
I walk down the sidewalk
Run down the boardwalk
Stop and make small talk
But I can't say no to you
Crossing every ocean for the sake of locomotion Crossing every ocean for the sake of locomotion Across every ocean For the sake of locomotion But I wouldn't have a notion How to save my soul I walk down the sidewalk Run down the boardwalk Stop and make small talk But I can't say no to you I can't say no I can't say yes I can't even write down my own address I can't touch heaven it's a little too far It's the only way to travel Got dreaming on a par I'm staring through the window Wondering where you are Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour Across every nation From the harbour to the station It's a form of inspiration It's a power to the state They run down the railways Sail across the seaways Fly through the airways But they can't say no To you I can't stand up I can't stand still I know you wouldn't like it if I told you how I feel I just want to say that it's only common sense But the words always fail me at my own expense I'm staring out the window Wonder where you are Moving through the landscape at a million miles an hour Across every ocean For the sake of locomotion But I wouldn't have a notion How to save my soul I walk down the sidewalk Run down the boardwalk Stop and make small talk But I can't say no to you Explain Request ×
