[Intro]
Have I been here before?
Maybe it was a million years ago
And I'd stop every war
Even if it takes a million years
And how long has the sun been here?
Has it been a million years?
I feel the same as the day I met you
A million years ago
[Verse 1]
In my car
Cut down Ventura Boulevard
Trying to get nowhere, getting lost
I hit the coastline and the water
Into the ocean, honey
[Chorus]
I know I'll find you there
Even if it takes a million years (Even if it takes)
With flowers in your hair
Even if it takes a million years (Even if it takes)
Our street is on no map
And I don't know why it disappeared (Even if it takes)
But I'll carry you on my back
Even if it takes, even if it takes a million years
[Verse 2]
And I know
Love finds a way to take a toll on you
Light has a hard time getting hold of you
But we stopped time once in a photograph
And I keep it in my pocket
[Chorus]
I know I'll find you there (I know I'll find you there)
Even if it takes a million years (Even if it takes)
With flowers in your hair (With flowers in your hair)
Even if it takes a million years (Even if it takes)
Our street is on no map (Our street is on no map)
And I don't know why it disappeared (Even if it takes)
But I'll carry you on my back (But I'll carry you on my back)
Even if it takes, even if it takes a million years
[Bridge]
Sometimes I sit around and think about the times
We used to run around the city with nothing much to do
Sometimes I lie around and think about what life would be like
If I was still sleeping in a bed and next to you
I'm not sure I'm meant to love 'cause when I try to love someone
I could never find a way to also love myself
Sometimes when I go out, I think I see you in the crowd
But I'm not ready for that conversation in the state I'm in
[Chorus]
I know I'll find you there (I know I'll find you there)
Even if it takes a million years (Even if it takes)
With flowers in your hair (With flowers in your hair)
Even if it takes a million years (Even if it takes)
Our street is on no map (Slow down, you'll miss the moment)
And I don't know why it disappeared (That our lives could finally intertwine)
But I'll carry you on my back (We don't have to sacrifice)
Even if it takes, even if it takes a million years
[Outro]
I'm yours eternally under these eternal blue skies
Maybe we made it just in time

Alana:
Saying, ‘I’ll carry you on my back even if it takes a million years,’ to me, that is kind of like an ode to my siblings. Anytime I’m feeling low, I’m so lucky that I was born with my two best friends. In [my] low points, I get to call my siblings and they know exactly what to say. It’s an od...
