lyrics

Martha tells me that we all end up the same
Whether you're the pauper or the king.
She's right, I know,
But even so I long to be
Remembered as the one
To make you sing.

Well, I've been told the East Coast is the Beast Coast, whatever that means.
All I know is it's the only place for me.
It's where I met you and it's where we dreamed all our dreams
And there's no place that I would rather be.

And Martha tells me that we all end up the same
Here but for a moment, then we're gone.
It goes so fast and once it's past, there's no return
And all that's left of the Singer are the songs.

Heading down the freeway with the blue lights overhead.
You're at my side and the windows open wide.
There's a thousand places out there that I'd still love to see
But tonight, there's nowhere else I'd rather be.

Still Martha tells me that we all end up the same
Whether you're the pauper or the king.
She's right, I know,
But even so I long to be
Remembered as the one
To make you sing
Louder and deeper than the sea,
Brighter than the stars.
You and me may not be perfect but I see
The beauty in our scars.
