It was a wild idea to start
We were lost in an hour, everything came apart
In the middle of nowhere
Oh man, hey look where we are

I know your teeth are shut and proud
But there are rhythms in the city make your head feel loud
Uh-huh
So get it out, get it out

You are a long ways upriver from home
Right here this water is mean, but it's the same as your own
Better swim for your life
It's both at the same time

It was a wild idea to start
A drip on the head got it wet in the heart
And it looked just like a river but was a freeway in the dark
In the dark

Were you always so ready?
Were you always so ready?

I never want to call it off
I never want to call it off
I've never been that ready

I've never been this ready
In my life
