(Verse 1)
I once dreamt of brown stone building with a front porch
Mandevilla vine wound around the rungs
Summer dress on a bedroom floor
You pressed close enough to me to feel the breath in my lungs
Until we walk down Lyndale
Almost lockstep
Not too slow
But, just enough for progress
Time was wasted debating all of them odds and ends
Ain't no floating this river, baby, we gotta swim
You were born in July
I was born December 19, 1980-Orwell
The years came and they went
But the chains of events
Sparked a change in the wind
And now we're sharing a doorbell?
We returned to the haven that we created
And later we laid in the shade with lemonade in the backyard
The sun faded and when i looked at the paper
It's twenty years in the future
I knew we would make it that far
(Chorus)
I knew that we would make it that far (x8)
(Verse 2)
I once dreamt of a blonde haired girl beneath the bus stop
When we were both still young and eyes bright
Somebody told me that she lived around the corner
I was knocking on her door like, 'Hey do you wanna ride bikes?'
Those summers always seemed to smother under winter
My mother would make me bundle up with gloves to cover up my fingers
But she had none, when we were playing make believe
And when I tried to hold her hand
That's when she ran away from me
Damn
Well that was my first bee sting
Next few years tried to find her each spring
But these things rarely ever come to closure
Never got her new address before she left for Minnesota
I don't suppose you know her and it's just coincidence
But if it's what I think it is then this is just the start
The only difference is I never really knew her
Til twenty years in the future
But knew we would make it this far
(Chorus)
I knew that we would make it that far (x8)
I once dreamt and the world wondered when I planned to wake
