Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am here, you are there
Laying side by side
Out of touch, out of reach
In the great divide
Parallel lines, ooh
[Verse 2]
Here the rain, count the drops
On the window pane
Wide awake, stale mate,
Why do we play this game?
Oh, God, I hate this game
[Verse 3]
Throw open the doors
You know my heart is yours
What are we waitin' for?  Yeah
[Verse 4]
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build a home
In the great unknown
Yeah, let's be pioneers
[Verse 5]
There's a song that we sang
On our honeymoon
I remember all the words
But forgot the tune
Why are we out of tune?
[Verse 6]
(Ooh) Let's forgive and let's forgive again
I'm reaching out to my sweetest friend (Ooh)
Can we start again? (Ooh)
[Verse 7]
Throw open the doors
You know my heart is yours
What are we waitin' for? Yeah
[Verse 8]
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build a home
In the great unknown
Yeah, let's be pioneers
[Verse 9]
And we'll build a home
In the great unknown
Yeah, let's be pioneers
[Verse 10]
Let's be pioneers
[Verse 11]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh, ah)
