It was a wild idea to start
We were lost in an hour, everything came apart
In the middle of nowhere
"Oh man, hey look where we are"

I know your teeth are shut and proud
But there are rhythms in the city,
Make your head feel loud
Uh-huh so get it out, get it out

You are a long ways up river from home
Right here this water is mean
But it's the same as your own
You'd better swim for your life
It's both at the same time

It was a wild idea to start
A drip on the head got it wet in the heart
And it looked just like a river
But was a freeway in the dark

Oh in the dark
Boy were you always so ready, ooh
Ooh, boy were you always so ready, ooh
I never want to call it off
I never want to call it off, ooh
I've never been that ready, ooh ooh ooh
I've never been this ready in my life
