Verse 1-

Woke up at eight, started the fire

had a few drinks, we all felt inspired

jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens

the water was bitter cold

Laid in the raft till it started moving

the current just sang, the song was so soothing
                   
we stopped along the way
                         
on a beach in the sun, on a beautiful day



Chorus-
                       /     
   Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
                          /    
We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything



Verse 2-

By noon we had swung the ropes in the woods

missed all danger, snakes, and the floods

burnt by the rays and next to our legs,

the water so bitter cold

Lunch had been saved along with the lighters

wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
                                                     
never trust a man with the food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand



Chorus-
                       /     
   Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
                          /    
We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
                               /
The sun would set, the stars would shine
                                 /
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
                            /      
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone



Bridge-

We laughed away the sunburn
                      
as we laughed away the day

What we lost means nothing
/
for the memories will stay...



Verse 3-

Caught the last bus with no time to linger

the driver seemed to be missing a finger
                                                  
I turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day



Chorus-
                       /     
   Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
                          /    
We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
                               /
The sun would set, the stars would shine
                                 /
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
                            /      
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
                            /      
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
