Lyrics
20,000 miles to an oasis
20,000 years will I burn
20,000 chances I've wasted
Waiting for the moment to turn
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
Walking through the woods, I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
30,000 thoughts have been wasted
Never in my time to return
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
All my life
Waiting to find
40,000 stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
40,000 reasons for living
40,000 tears in your eyes
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
(Catch me if I fall), catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall, (catch me if I fall)
Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall
Writer(s): Peter Lawrence Buck, Michael E. Mills, John Michael Stipe, William Thomas Berry
