I am ready to wake up
There in the exodus
On the beautiful side of somewhere, baby
There on the pavement, underneath the yellow moon
I think of you and just how easily we bruise
A folded address in my pocket, I have stopped
Trying to believe for you that the bottom didn't drop
I am on the platform, covered with dust
I pray they take the both of us, and
I am ready to wake up
There in the exodus
On the beautiful side of somewhere, baby
And I am ready to come down
And see us both somehow
On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday
Somewhere, someday
I am lighting matches for the rescue
Some are candles, some are fuses
Acting on my best behavior
Switching over every breaker
As we're plowing through these laws of nature
Disregarding every acre
I'm lying in my Sunday best
Assuming this was not a test, and
I am ready to wake up
There in the exodus
On the beautiful side of somewhere, baby
And I am ready to come down
And see us both somehow
On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday
Somewhere, someday
Beautiful side of somewhere.
