Texarkana Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mike Mills]
Twenty-thousand miles to an oasis
Twenty-thousand years will I burn
Twenty-thousand chances I've wasted
Waiting for the moment to turn
[Chorus: Mike Mills]
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
[Verse 2: Mike Mills]
Walking through the woods, I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
Thirty-thousand thoughts have been wasted
Never in my time to return
[Chorus: Mike Mills]
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
[Bridge: Mike Mills]
All my life
Waiting to find
[Verse 3: Mike Mills]
Forty-thousand stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
Forty-thousand reasons for living
Forty-thousand tears in your eyes
[Chorus: Mike Mills]
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
[Outro: Mike Mills]
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall
(Catch me if I fall)
Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall
Catch me if I fall, catch me if I fall
