plans

Brandon Flowers

The pond is fed by July melted snow
That we watched fall from January windows
In our homeroom class
Teacher wondering
How the hell they wound up here
So far from the plans they drew up years ago

When I stole away on that three-lane headed south
I didn t know the cards were stacked,
I just knew I was wild about the desert wind
Whispering sweet nothings about gearing up and chasing down
A plan I drew up years ago

That I drew up years ago

So hold me in your arms, I think I m going under
Take your time with my heart,
It s been rattled by the thunder
Of the all-you-got engine always bound for the big show
Drowning out the plans I drew up years ago

Gonna drive tonight, gonna roll the windows down
Let the wind wash over me
Let the whole thing go, let it all play out
Like a melody
Lord, it feels like a memory
Reminding me of the innocence of the plans
I drew up years ago

That I drew up years ago

So hold me in your arms, I think I m going under
Take your time with my heart,
Iit s been rattled by the thunder
Of the all-you-got engine always bound for the big show
Drowning out the plans I drew up years ago
Tonight, I m on the road
With the plans I drew up years ago

So hold me in your arms, I think I m going under
Take your time with my heart,
It s been rattled by the thunder
Of the all-you-got engine always bound for the big show
Drowning out the plans I drew up years ago
Tonight, I m on the road
With the plans I drew up years ago
Tonight, I m on the road
With the plans I drew up years ago
