Go catch the river it’s runnin’ out to the sea-lined sands I’ve been adding up my daylight savings and babe I’ve got a plan You and me, it’s the story of the chrome hearts These dreams and illusions are hard to tell apart All the coffee and gasoline, all the miles in between Sunrise and sunset And all the small towns we ain’t seen yet Where people seem to be getting by in spite of the rent

Chorus: A little piece of history in the making We’ve been confusing what we were giving and what we were taking We’ll turn it all upside down See the stars when we’re looking at the ground Shining all around Hold on to my hand Sing me a love song If we forget the words we’ll make them up as we go along
We put everything in boxes, left early on New Year’s Day So many things we thought we couldn’t live without, we just gave them away You and me it’s the story of the chrome hearts Never said I knew, never said I had a clue All the U-turns and dive bars, the bitter ends and the broken hearts All of this if nothing else someday will make a story to tell And if no one else will listen you know I always will

Chorus: A little piece of history in the making We’ve been confusing what we were giving and what we were taking We turned it all upside down See the stars when we’re looking at the ground Shining all around Hold on to my hand Sing me a love song If we forget the words, we’ll make them up as we go along
