Lifetimes Lyrics
[Chorus: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
'Cause I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
I'll walk the world for you
Doing it right, doing it right
Seconds, minutes, hours, lifetimes
Doing it right, doing it right
I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
[Verse 1: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Hands up for a miracle
Up high for a miracle
Oh the smoke don’t stop but we let it go
But we let it go on and on
Flash back to a year ago
Count stacks, fifty-two ago
All the hope, drop down like a domino
But we let it go on and on
[Verse 2: Anthony West]
Will someone take a ride with me?
Back to the world where we can see
Echo strong, river deep
Concrete hazy
Won’t you take a ride with me?
Take a ride with me
It’s easy come never go
Please make way for telephones
Call me crazy, call me slow
Go hang up but
Won’t you take a ride with me?
Come on take a ride with me
[Chorus]
'Cause I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
I’ll walk the world for you
Doing it right, doing it right
Seconds, minutes, hours, lifetimes
Doing it right, doing it right
I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
[Verse 3: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Hands up for a miracle
Up high for a miracle
Oh the smoke don’t stop but we let it go
But we let it go on and on
Flash back to a year ago
Count stacks, fifty-two ago
All the hope, drop down like a domino
But we let it go on and on
[Verse 4: Anthony West]
Will someone take a ride with me?
Back to the planet sanity
Desert plain, ocean wave
Techno crazy
Won’t you take a ride with me?
Take a ride with me
It’s easy come, never go
Please make way for climaphobes
Two degrees, you’re spilling seas
Toupée queen
Oh, won’t you take a ride with me?
Come on take a ride with me
[Refrain: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Swing sweet light this earth of mine
[Chorus: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
'Cause I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
I’ll walk the world for you
Doing it right, doing it right
Seconds, minutes, hours, lifetimes
Doing it right, doing it right
I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
[Refrain: Josephine Vander Gucht & Anthony West]
Swing sweet light this earth of mine
