Another hour deeper in the night 
Another mile farther down the road 
A man can drive as hard as he can drive 
And never get as far as his heart was meant to go 
Sometimes when you look up in the sky 
You think we might be closer than you know 

Another tune forms in my head 
More harmonies, more empty words 
Oh, I could play these songs til I was dead 
And never approach the sound that I once heard 
I remember when I was just a kid 
Listening in the sky 
Believing that the wind would stir 

And I know the river is deep 
I found out that the currents are tricky 
And I know the river is wide 
And oh the currents are strong 
And I may lose every dream 
I dreamt that I could carry with me 
But I have failed so many times 
And You've never let me fall down alone 

Maybe she could come to Wichita 
And maybe we could borrow Beaker's bike 
We'd let the rogue wind tie our hair in knots 
Let the speed and the freedom untangle the lines 
Maybe fear can vanish before love 
Oh God, don't let this love be denied 

Cause I know the river is deep 
I found out that the currents are tricky 
And I know that the river is wide 
And oh, the currents are strong 
And I could lose every dream 
I dreamt that I could carry with me 
Oh, but I will reach the other side 
Please don't let me have to wait too long 

Another hour deeper in the night 
Another mile farther down the road 
We could be closer than you know
