Two Hundred Years (wersja 2)

Verse

I've been walking for two hundred years, I think

Watching cities burn down to ash

Learning how to count the stars through smoke and glass

My shadow stretches long across your floor

A small apartment full of all the things we left behind

Papers yellowed in a trunk that smells like fire and rain

We used to make out on the hood of my old Buick car

Now you drive me home through streets with no more bars

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is it worth it, leaving everything I know

Can we start again somewhere brand new, somewhere slow

Every door I close, do you feel me walk away

Can we build a life where the ghosts don't stay

Chorus

Two hundred years and not one of them has made me whole

You're my home now, that's what I've finally learned to hold onto

So let us drive through streets with no more names

Let us leave our shadows in this endless rain

Keep your hand on the gearshift where it knows you live

Two hundred years but I'm still coming home to stay alive

Verse

I remember the night that we drove into the dark

The highway stretched out before us like a blackened spark

You were humming 'Hallelujah' at the top of your lungs

And every star that shone down on our empty car said yes

We left behind a fire that burned so bright and true

But the only thing I'm holding onto now is you

So keep my hand in yours where it still thinks we're free

Let us drive through streets with no more names and just be

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is it worth it, leaving everything I know

Can we start again somewhere brand new, somewhere slow

Every door I close, do you feel me walk away

Can we build a life where the ghosts don't stay

Chorus

Two hundred years and not one of them has made me whole

You're my home now, that's what I've finally learned to hold onto

So let us drive through streets with no more names

Let us leave our shadows in this endless rain

Keep your hand on the gearshift where it knows you live

Two hundred years but I'm still coming home to stay alive

Bridge

It doesn't matter where we end up tonight

As long as every mile between us lights up into a light

We can drive through cities, mountains, rivers wide

But nothing will ever stop the two of us from arriving at our side

So let go of all that we used to be

Let us become what the open road sets free

Chorus

Two hundred years and not one of them has made me whole

You're my home now, that's what I've finally learned to hold onto

So let us drive through streets with no more names

Let us leave our shadows in this endless rain

Keep your hand on the gearshift where it knows you live

Two hundred years but I'm still coming home to stay alive
