AMERITA:
There’s a lady across the water
And she’s driving me from my home
Oh, her name is Amerita
And her fate says I’m gonna need more than luck
And though she dragged me from the country
Spinning stories of fortune and fame
Though she knew she didn’t want me
Tell me lady Amerita, what’s your game?
SENSE OF DIRECTION:
I figured it out
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time
I know how it goes
I know how it goes for wrong and right
Silence and sound
Did they ever hold each other
Tight like us
Did they ever fight like us
You and I
We don't want to be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above
Could separate the two of us
No nothing can come between
You and I
Oohh You and I
I figured it out
Saw the mistakes of up and down
Meet in the middle
There's always room for common ground
I see what it's like
I see what it's like for day and night
Never together
Cause they see things in a different light
Like us
They never tried like us
You and I
We don't want to be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the gods above
Could separate the two of us
'Cause You and I
We don't want to be like them
We can make it till the end
Nothing can come between You and I
Not even the gods above
Could separate the two of us
No nothing can come between
You and i
You and I
Oohh You and I We can make it if we try
You and I
Oohh you and I
You and I
