Streaks in the Sky

It's just the southern road that you leave by and open windows in your car
It's just the breathing of the city that says "leave me behind"

Forget tomorrow side with the open road
Pulled apart for you
And the window unlocked and left open
For, for the rising sun taking you back home

If we never meet again it would be too soon
I'm glad I ran from you and now my life's a mess
And I'll have to admit that I have made a mistake
And every path that I take has led me right back to here
And I never should have left

It's just the second chance that I dreamt of
When you took me into your lives
But there's a peak we have to climb over
So get a running start

Forget tomorrow side with the open road
Pulled apart for you
And the window unlocked and left open
For, for the rising sun bringing you back home

Sitting here, waiting a year
Hoping for something to change your mind
And in this time I'll see that this is
This is all we have, this is all we have
This is all we have, this is all we have

Before I leave I'm opening up that door in my house
To face the ones I've left behind
A portrait of a man who stayed
His face is folded up and grayed
But there's something in his eyes that tells me
"This is the life for me"
