Maybe sometime soon we could drive downtown
Sip some coffee and talk about
The big apartments across the street
And how one day we'll live in them
Been having dreams
I'm so scared they won't come true
That I can barely breathe
I don't know how to say it to you, but
I'm afraid that when I grow up
I'll be like them old sailors on the coast
Sitting in the bars by the ocean
Raising their glasses to ghosts
But darling I ain't got nothing to say
About boats or waves or seas
And lately I've been wondering
How much there really is to say about me
I can say one thing I must be free
Well, they've already got my grave marked off
It's sitting in the corner of cemetery lane
They tell me that I'm still young
But anyone can die in vain
But I can't shut this world out
I'm just starting to build the road
And where can any of us be found
When all our silly little things have been sold?
As the line between land and sea
Grows thinner by the day
I gotta know that when I go
They'll be somebody left to say
He did it his way
The sun is rising now
Coming up over Cemetery Hill
Maybe I haven't made it to the top
Maybe I never will
But as I drive away
With the taste of music in my mouth
I know for the rest of my days
I wanna give them something to talk about
And those apartments now they may seem far away
But the talking, let that begin today
It all begins today
