Dreaming of Sailboats

Pulled into the driveway of the home I've always dreamed of
And in my dream someone's coming rushing out to me
The life I've always wanted
The life that I've been waiting for
Just a couple years more
Finishing college, we've just got one year left to go
And I know that we're ready for whatever's out there
Our first little apartment
No furniture, eat on the floor
In a couple years more
We'll be wrapped in our housecoats
Dreaming of sailboats
Sipping stale coffee
And saving our dimes
Huddled by the fireplace
All of our doubts erased
We're young and we're free
Baby, just you and me
Outside the window I know that none of them get it
With you I see paradise in this main street landscape
One day we'll fix up what's outside
Of our ivy covered walls
With a couple years more
And I'll get all that I'm missing
At last do more than wishing
In a couple years more
You'll play guitar and sing to
That song and I will fall for you
Just like I did that first time
And that feeling of elation
Will be more than confirmation
That all my wildest dreams came true
In a couple years more
In a couple years more
In a couple years more
In a couple years more
We'll be wrapped in our housecoats
Dreaming of sailboats
Sipping stale coffee
And saving our dimes
Huddled by the fireplace
All of our doubts erased
We're young and we're free
Baby just you and me
