John and the Time Traveling Bicycle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeing the sun, today it begins
Hush, no, don’t worry, we got all night
Come on, let’s dance until morning light
Open the door, let it come in
Seeing the sun, today it begins
Hush, no, don’t worry, we got all night
You and I will find our way home
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
Catching the sun, sunlight and rain
Leaving our fortunes behind us again
Catching the sun, sunlight and rain
Leaving our fortunes behind us again
You and I will find our way home
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
Taking me back to where we began
Seeking the sun as we lay on the sand
Always remember the days that we had
Taking a trip of a lifetime we sang
All of the memories, all of the nights
All of the moments found in our lives
You and I will find our way home
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
You and I will find our way home
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
You and I will find our way home
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
Finding our way, finding our way
With the memories we make, the memories we make
Finding our way, finding our way
With the memories we make, the memories we make
