Whoa
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh!

Whoa
Oh oh
Ohhh

Whoa oh
Ohhhhhhhh!

I remember the first
I remember the first time
That we met
I didn't say a word
We were too nervous to make our feelings heard
And now we've been through the worst
And we came out the other side just fine
And all our friends say we're
Never gonna make it
We just take it the day by day

So just stay close
No one else matters here but us
It's you that I trust!

I think we'll go the distance!
I think we're gonna make it!
Although it's happened so fast
I know that we'll make it last!
I think I found the answer to all our little problems
So put your hand in mine
And just forget the time!

Whoa
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh!

Whoa
Oh oh
Ohhh

Whoa oh
Ohhhhhhhh!

Do you remember the last?
Do you remember the last time that we spoke?
You said I'm falling too fast
And that we ought to try and take things slow
Well there's no time for that!
We've been given a moment and this is now!
And now I wake up every single morning
I know we can do anything!
In a year or two you could be with somebody new
What have we got to lose?

I think we'll go the distance!
I think we're gonna make it!
Although it's happened so fast
I know that we'll make it last!
I think I found the answer to all our little problems
So put your hand in mine
And just forget the time!

I think we'll go the distance x 5

No distance doesn't matter to me
I'll go wherever you need me to be!
You could travel anywhere!
Just close my eyes and you will be there!

I think we'll go the distance!
I think we're gonna make it!
Although it's happened so fast
I know that we'll make it last!
I think I found the answer to all our little problems
So put your hand in mine
And just forget the time!

Whoa




Oh oh
Ohhh

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup

They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

He's going the distance, he's going for speed
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force

In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

'Cause he's going the distance, he's going for speed
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance, he's going for speed
He's going the distance
