Side Of The Road Lyrics

You wait in the car on the side of the road 
Let me go and stand for a while 
I want to know you're there but I wanna be alone 
If only for a minute or two 
I want to feel what it feels like to be without you 
I want to 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 leg 
I just stood and looked out at the open space 
And a farmhouse out a ways 
And I wonder about the people who lived in it 
And I wonder if they were happy and content 
And with many children and a man and a wife 
And did she love him and take her hair down at night 
If I stray too far away from you 
Don't go out 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 always used to go 
Lalalalalalalalalala 
If only for a minute or two 
I want to know what it feels to be without you 
To know the touch of my own skin 
Against the sun against the wind
