Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've got a key

And a piece of paper in my pocket, deep

In my pocket, piece of paper and a key

As I wander through the street

[Verse 2]

A war, is there a war?

Or is there isn't a war anymore?

Somebody told me that nothing is for sure

Can you hear the ocean roar?

[Verse 3]

On each street is a tree

In the distance, the desert sleeps

Sometimes, a sigh is a song

And a breath is a melody

[Verse 4]

Oceans rise and oceans fall

So just what does tomorrow mean?

I give a smile, I give a song

For one moment's eternity

[Verse 5]

And we sing

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

[Verse 6]

A war, but it's a mob

Some mob that brought me here

I know it is my job

To seek my fortune, and I

Thank you for this mob

Remember you, now you are gone

I am

[Verse 7]

Oh, if I went away

Tropical island, somewhere sunny every day

But everyone I ever cared about remained

Would I tan or would I fade?

[Verse 8]

On each street is a tree

In the distance, the desert sleeps

Sometimes, a sigh is a song

And a breath is a melody, ooh

[Verse 9]

Mountains rise and mountains fall

So just what does forever mean?

I give a smile, I give a song

For one moment's eternity

[Verse 10]

And we sing

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

[Verse 11]

So, every morning, he wakes

Spend his day at the daybreak

And every spoonful he take

Be of something his own make

[Verse 12]

Oh, oceans rise and mountains fall

So, just what does forever mean?

I give a smile, I give a song

For one moment's eternity

[Verse 13]

And we sing

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

[Verse 14]

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

[Verse 15]

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na

Na na-na na-na-na na-na-na

Na na-na-na na-na-na na-na na-na
