Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Find a place that keeps you safe

Head down till the light of day

Ain't nobody you can blame

I've been lookin' far and wide

Runnin' from the fear inside

Just close your eyes and drive

[Verse 2]

'Cause we are stronger now than our fathers

Can't you hear them calling out, "I'm there"?

Faint light flickerin' in the distance

New world thickening

[Verse 3]

And we will find our way there, I know

Just like they do on the TV

Maybe we'll go from nothing to incredible

Just like they do on the TV

[Verse 4]

I'm older now, but I feel my time start to begin

Out on the road, they all advertise it, not buyin' it

[Verse 5]

'Cause we are stronger now than our fathers

Can't you hear them calling out, "I'm there"?

I'm not waking up if I'm dreamin'

Swear I wouldn't stay

[Verse 6]

And we will find our way there, I know

Just like they do on the TV

Maybe we'll go from nothing to incredible

Just like they do on the TV

[Verse 7]

And we will find our way there, I know

Just like they do on the TV

Maybe we'll go from nothing to incredible

Just like they do on the TV

[Verse 8]

Find a place that keeps your safe

Head down till the light of day

Ain't nobody you can blame

I've been lookin' far and wide

Runnin' from the fear inside

Just close your eyes and drive

[Verse 9]

Just like they do on the TV

Just like they do on the TV

Just like they do on the TV

Just like they do on the TV

[Verse 10]

Just like they do on the TV

Just like they do on the TV
