I don't really know how I got here this time   I was only just following orders   Listening to the voice in my mind   Saying steer clear of margins and borders   So I wasn't thinking of where we would go   On a could afternoon through the mountains we drove   Up a few hairpin turns and then spread out below   The valley appeared with the sun   Like Elysium      I looked out the window and stared at the fields   Where the blue sky and green were colliding   I looked back at you and I knew we were sealed   By a fate that has ways of providing   Yes sometimes you get there in spite of the route Losing track of your life and what it's about   The road seems to know when to straighten right out   The closer you come   To Elysium      They say there's a place for those who are good   With it's pearly gates swinging wide open   The rest of us here are just knocking on wood   Quietly, piously hoping   I could wonder if all of it led me to you   I could show you the arrows and circles I drew   I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do   On the fly and on the run   To dreams that were tethered like kites to the ground   To the bridges I burned, to then turning around   It was here in your heart I was finally found    And the last battle won for Elysium
