Power Lines lyrics

(Verse 1)

First time I looked straight into her eyes

I saw the future, I saw bluer skies

Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Even when I'm lonely I am always surprised all

Of the ways you told me to keep my eye on the prize

(Chorus 1)

You and your photographic memory

You and your photographic memory

(Verse 2)

I'm a broken man, I'm damaged goods

Lock me in the basement with furnace soot

You came along in your party dress

I climbed a mountain under house arrest

(Chorus 2)

When we were kids, I swear we were power lines

Out on some journey, searching for some better minds

(Bridge)

You can't cut it out, no you can't keep it out of line

Looking for the pavement

Looking like we're running out of time

And I am yours and you are mine

(Verse 3)

Batten down the hatches and man the sails

The war isn't over, it's not even tipped the scales

Run down the tracks like a bat out of hell

Don't muss up your hair because we're destined to fail

(Chorus 3)

When I was young, I thought I was a power line

When I was young, I was searching for some better time
