Lyrics

You wait in the car
On the side of the road
Let me go and stand a while
I wanna know you're there
But I wanna be alone
If only for a minute or two
I want to see 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 brushed against my legs
I just stood and looked out
At the open space and a farm house out of ways
And I wondered about the people that 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 in the 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
Da la la la la la la la la la la
Da la la la la la la la la la la
If only for a minute or two
I want to see what it feels like
To be without you
I want to know the touch
Of my own skin
Against the sun against the wind
