Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Twenty-thousand miles to an oasis
Twenty-thousand years will I burn
Twenty-thousand chances I've wasted
Waiting for the moment to turn
[Verse 2]
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
[Verse 3]
Walking through the woods, I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
Thirty-thousand thoughts have been wasted
Never in my time to return
[Verse 4]
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
[Verse 5]
All of my life
Waiting to find
[Verse 6]
Forty-thousand stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
Forty-thousand reasons for living
Forty-thousand tears in your eyes
[Verse 7]
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
[Verse 8]
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
Fall, fall, oh, oh
(Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall)
(Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall)
