you and me
swim upstream
against the flow we go
like salmon swim
to mountain tops
it's the only thing we know
neon lights
and big city streets
a longing in you grows
we drag the brush
as time goes on
winding trails of blue
for those to see
the paths we took
to make a dream come true
neon lights
and these city streets
your presence overdue
we lead not follow
and that's hard to do
when no one follows you
with nothing new
we will pretend
invent our world again
the neon lights
how they shined for you
they'll shine for others too
we lead not follow
and the aim was true
and so they followed you
they followed you
