Elysium

I don't really know how I got here this time
 I was only just following orders
 Listening to the voice in my mind
 Saying steer clear of margins and borders
 So I wasn't thinking of where we would go
 On a cold afternoon through the mountains we drove
 Up a few hairpin turns and then spread out below
 The valley appeared with the sun
 Like Elysium
 I looked out the window and stared at the fields
 Where the blue sky and the green were colliding
 I looked back at you and I knew we were sealed
 By a fate that has ways of providing
 Yes sometimes you get there in spite of the route
 Losing track of your life and what it's about
 The road seems to know when to straighten right out
 The closer you come
 To Elysium
 They say there's a place for those who are good
 With its pearly gates swinging wide open
 The rest of us here are just knocking on wood
 Quietly, piously hoping
 I could wonder if all of it led me to you
 I could show you the arrows and circles I drew
 I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do
 On the fly and on the run
 To dreams that were tethered like kites to the ground
 To the bridges I burned, to then turning around
 It was here in your heart I was finally found
 And the last battle won for Elysium
