"Palisades" lyrics - MAT KEARNEY

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

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
