Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I am here, you are there, lying side by side
Out of touch, out of reach in the great divide
Parallel lines, ooh
Hear 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
Throw open the doors
You know my heart is yours
What are we waiting for?
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build a home
In the great unknown
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
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?
Let's forgive and let's forgive again
I'm reaching out to my sweetest friend
Can we start again?
Throw open the doors
You know my heart is yours
What are we waiting for?
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build a home
In the great unknown
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
And we'll build a home
In the great unknown
Yeah
Let's be pioneers
Let's be pioneers
