you and me   swim upstream   against the flow we go      like salmon swim   to mountain tops   it's the only thing we know      neon lights   and big city streets   along in you grows      we drag the brush   as time goes on   winding trails of blue      for those to see   the paths we took   to make a dream come true      neon lights   and these city streets   your presence overdue      we lead not follow   and that's hard to do   when no one follows you      with nothing new   we will pretend   invent our world again      the neon lights   how they shined for you   they'll shine for others too      we lead not follow   and the aim was true   and so they followed you      they followed you
