Catalina
A Moment's Worth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So we waited yesterday but our lives begin this moment as cool ocean wind plays on sun-burnt skin. We've set out on sudden whims to give reason for our journey. We're grateful for what's been and it's meant everything to me.
I feel so alive with you, my life. You are the air I breathe and I can't get enough.
And don't you worry, the world will know our story. And it was written for you. And I will turn the darkest sky to fireworks of dreams come true.
So let's drive on the roads made by imaginary lines. We'll leave the windows down tonight and we'll play all our favorite songs or maybe just enjoy the silence. We'll hear the summer wind whisper in our ears.
You know now the reason you were brought down. Don't let it leave you. Don't let it leave you helpless and if you slow down, just take in this moment, I promise it will leave you. It will leave you breathless.
Oh it will leave you. It will leave you breathless.
So we waited yesterday but our lives begin this moment as cool ocean wind plays on sun-burnt skin
