Side of the Road

[Verse 1]

You wait in the car on the side of the road

Let me go and stand awhile

I want to know you're there, but I wanna be alone

If only for a minute or two

I wanna see what it feels like to be without you

I wanna know the touch of my own skin

Against the sun, against the wind

[Verse 2]

I walked out in a field, the grass was high

It brushed against my legs

I just stood and looked out at the open space

And a farmhouse out aways

And I wondered about the people who lived in it

And I wondered if they were happy and content

Were there children and a man and a wife?

Did she love him and take her hair down at night?

[Verse 3]

If I stray away too far from you

Don't go and try to find me

It doesn't mean I don't love you

It doesn't mean I won't come back and stay beside you

It only means I need a little time

To follow that unbroken line

To a place where the wild things grow

To a place where I used to always go

[Outro]

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

La la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

If only for a minute or two

I wanna see what it feels like to be without you

I wanna know the touch of my own skin

Against the sun, against the wind
