Long Ride

We don't like when the stars aren't aligned right where we find them We choose one sun and we stare You were right when you said I got careless and was blinded For a moment I thought we were almost there But I better tell you now It's gonna be a long ride That star we're chasing is so far away But I'll keep pushing toward the speed of light Until I see those colors start to change I won't try to get back anything you might have borrowed I'll close my eyes and let go When you find that this work won't pay off until tomorrow You'll wish you'd started long ago But I gotta tell you now It's gonna be a long ride That star you're chasing is so far away But just keep pushing toward the speed of light Until you see those colors start to change Aren't we just making this all up as we go Racing to finish a game whose rules we don't know Oh, now I want to believe that somewhere there was a sign That love's not blind Oh, but I can tell it's gonna be a long ride That star I'm chasing still looks so far away I guess I'll just keep pushing toward the speed of light Until I see those colors start to change
