Palisades
by Mat Kearney

Album: Mat Kearney

Verse 1
I dreamed about pacific nights
And the way the wind would move your hair
I woke up on the other side
With a feeling that's still in the air

Pre-Chorus
Like someone told me that
We were spinning off like a planet
And still grinning, caught heavy-handed
Hearts were in it, took it for granted
Like it was never enough

Chorus
We used to think we had
All the room to run past the palisades
But it's wasted on the youth 'til it slips away
Like a long gone destination
No, I can't help it
I love the way you say it like you did back then
We never really made it, but we're closing in
On a long gone destination

Verse 2
Half asleep in paradise
We're too caught up to even know
That you never get a second try
At a first time out there on your own

Pre-Chorus
Like someone told me that
We were spinning off like a planet
And still grinning, caught heavy-handed
Hearts were in it, took it for granted
Like it was never enough

Chorus
We used to think we had
All the room to run past the palisades
But it's wasted on the youth 'til it slips away
Like a long gone destination
No, I can't help it
I love the way you say it like you did back then
We never really made it, but we're closing in
On a long gone destination

Instrumental Break

Chorus
We used to think we had
All the room to run past the palisades
But it's wasted on the youth 'til it slips away
Like a long gone destination
No, I can't help it
I love the way you say it like you did back then
We never really made it, but we're closing in
On a long gone destination

Outro
On a long gone destination
A long gone destination
