I know what I want I know what I want I want a long life, all kidding aside The rules are the same As they always were Present's a thought And a piece of mind And i want my girl in my arms when I sleep Breathing in her dreams Near the air I breathe And I wanna dream Right down to the minute Right down to the second I can feel my every breath unfold Right down to the minute Right down to the second I'm down to the seconds Steady little boat Steady little boat Take me to the shore Take me to the shore Take me back home all the way to where I'm from To the banks of the Illinois Show me the house I was raised in And the woods where I used to play Steady little boat Take me home cause I'm far away Right down to the minute Right down to the second I can feel my every breath unfold
Right down to the minute Right down to the second Right down to the minute Right down to the second I can feel my every breath unfold Right down to the minute Right down to the second And I'm down to the seconds Out on this tiny planet Under a bright yellow sun On an island East of an island Just past the bridge and tunnels I feel the ground under my shoes On a street between a couple of avenues And I'll lose it Right down to the minute Right down to the second I can feel my every breath unfold Right down to the minute Right down to the second Right down to the minute Right down to the second I can feel my every breath unfold Right down to the minute Right down to the second Right down to the minute Right down to the second I'm down to the seconds
