[Verse]

Can we climb t

his mountain
      
I dont know
             
Higher now tha

            
n ever before
             
I know we can 

              
make it if we 

       
take it slow
 
Let's take it 

easy
  
Easy now,  wat

ch it go


[Chorus]
             
We're burning 

              
down the highw

        
ay sky- line
         
On the back of

 a hurricane
 
That started t

urning
             
When you were 

              
  young
             
When you were 

              
  young

             
And sometimes 

             
you close your

  
 eyes
             
And see the pl

              
ace where you 

       
used to live
             
When you were 

             
   young
