Bumrush

I had nothing and nothing had me
Had me strung from a sycamore tree
Now I have it all and it's all I see
The good life isn't what I thought it'd be

Owa owa owa ye
Paradise goes way over our heads
Owa owa owa ye
Happiness isn't our concern down here

And I can never wait
Tomorrow comes too late
So I want to keep this moment
Locked out of time forever
Because I see it slipping away

I was sad and sad was free
Free as the air over empty sea
Now I'm confined A detainee
Fate is an ambush you can't foresee

Owa owa owa ye
Seasons changing without a care
Owa owa owa ye
Oh precious dream, are you somewhere out there?

And I don't want to go
To the promised land anymore
I'll stay inside this shelter
We'll watch each other sleeping
As the night turns into day

And I can never wait
Tomorrow comes too late
So I want to keep this moment
Locked out of time forever
Because I see it slipping away
