Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's an easy ride to roam
You'll never walk alone
Naturally we blew
Simple things we say

We find the way

Seems like we've opened up the door
Feels like we've walked this way before
Naturally we blew
Simple things you say

Everyday
You'll find the way, oh

It amazes
Everyday
