lyrics

With best friends the challenge disappears
It transcends any childhood fears
The lens can capture seven years
We can do anything

The plan was to find the ark
Began at our twelve year mark
A man as it fades to dark
Instead of summering we're gonna make this thing

It was tough, but we adapted
They had experience and cash but we could match it
When you want it this bad there's no need to explain
Sometimes a boat is as good as a plane

We go shot for shot on screen
Just like our favourite film had been
We fell short by one crazy scene
We have to go our separate ways but we'll still have those special days

It was tough, but we adapted
They had experience and cash but we could match it
When you want it this bad there's no need to explain
Sometimes a boat is as good as a plane

We were kids, but that can hardly matter
A tribute was the treasure we were after
Those seven years, it was a fact, we pulled it off
We could adapt
We could adapt
We could adapt

And now, after decades past
Somehow we've been unsurpassed
And we can complete at last
The one that got away, that moment to this day
We're given one more try to film that last goodbye

It was tough, but we adapted
They had experience and cash but we could match it
When you want it this bad there's no need to explain
Sometimes a boat, sometimes a boat

It was tough, but we adapted
They had experience and cash but we could match it
When you want it this bad there's no need to explain

If you want it bad enough, If they want it bad enough
If you work hard enough
You can have your plane
