You wait in the car on the side of the road
|
Lemme go and stand awhile, I wanna 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
|
|
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 a ways
|
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?
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
