Lyrics
Guided by the light of one another, let the world make way for you and me

Stones and sticks and moss and leaves will one day cover

Where we lay, just you and me

And the world was made for you and me this summer

And there's no way of knowing where this journey's going and where it may end

So we're just taking this one shaky step at a time

And I will take your trembling hand, if you'll take my beating heart

And we'll run and run and run and run and run and run into the dark
Conveying a sense of adventure and spontaneity, expressing a desire to escape into the unknown together, even into darkness.
We'll take the road less traveled far, cause home is right here where we are, you and me
Choosing an unconventional path, implying that their true home is in each other's company, irrespective of the physical location.
And all the passages we'll find, and all the mountains we will climb over and under

And there's no way of knowing where this journey's going and where it may end

The world spins round and round and round and round and round, but home is right here where we are
