On the Line

You can't stop us from moving
You can't stop us from feeling fine
You can't stop us from putting our lives on the line

You can't stop us from dancing
You can't stop us from feeling high
We can't help it if we'd like to stay out all night

It's a cure for the bleakness
It's a pill for the day to day
It's just a way for me to shake loose the dust and the clay

I'd love to show you but you wouldn't go
I'd love to take you but I know the way you roll
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine

While we're young and resilient
While we're fearless and fancy free
We'll be fine without you and your numbers and lines

While we're wishing and watching
While we're wishing and watching here
We won't see your illusional blanket of fear

Like a wave through the ocean
Like the dust on an August day
While we're moving you won't stand a chance in our way

I'd love to show you but you wouldn't go
I'd love to take you but I know the way you roll
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine

You should have been gone for years now
You should have packed up and left this place
You should have ducked out and given up your spot in the race

You can cling to your madness
You can swim down and hold your breath
But I'll be standing on dry ground with all of the rest

I'd love to show you but you wouldn't go
I'd love to take you but I know the way you roll
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
You see it your way, I see it mine and I'll be fine
