Down to the Second

I know what I want
 I know what I want
 I want a long life, all kidding aside
 the rules are the same
 as they always were
 present's a thought
 and a piece of mind
 and i want my girl in my arms when I sleep
 breathing in her dreams
 near the air I breathe
 and I wanna dream
 right down to the minute
 right down to the second
 I can feel my every breath unfold
 right down to the minute
 right down to the second

 I'm down to the seconds
 steady little boat
 steady little boat
 take me to the shore
 take me to the shore
 take me back home all the way to where I'm from
 to the banks of the Illinois
 show me the house I was raised in
 and the woods where I used to play
 steady little boat
 take me home cause I'm far away

 out on this tiny planet
 under a bright yellow sun
 on an island
 east of an island
 just past the bridge and tunnels
 I feel the ground under my shoes
 on a street between a couple of avenues
 and I'll lose it
