Long Way, Big Desires lyrics

Bare feet on the groundDust jumpsHearts poundHey yaHey ya we start slowHands clapEyes glow

Back seat full of wild plansOne bagSun on our handsLaugh lines in the side mirrorRoad hum pulling us nearer

I feel it rising in my chestSmall town shrinking in my stepsEvery mile a sparkA fireSoft voice calling me higher

Long wayBig desiresSkyline burningWe climb higherHand in hand through all these turnsAll this livingHow it burnsLong wayBig desires

Loose change in an old jarWish made on a passing carNames carved in a pine treeWind singsKeep chasingStay free

I feel it humming in my bonesOld fears shaking off like stonesEvery breath a little choirSoft beat fanning this fire

Long wayBig desiresSkyline burningWe climb higherHand in hand through all these turnsAll this livingHow it burnsLong wayBig desires

If we stumbleWe still singIf we're tremblingStill we swingEvery detourEvery wrongFeeds the rhythm of our song

OhWe goWe goWe goChasing more than we can holdOhThis pull inside our ribsThis is lifeThis is the gift

Long wayBig desiresSkyline burningWe climb higherHand in hand through all these turnsAll this livingHow it burnsLong wayBig desires

Long wayBig desiresSkyline burningWe climb higherHand in hand through all these turnsAll this livingHow it burnsLong wayBig desires

Dust settles on our shoesHearts buzzingNothing to loseLong way in our tired smilesBig desires in our quiet miles
