It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold
So i fell in love with a girl, then I told her so
She was drunk in a fountain blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing
And I though it was childish, but then I caught the joke
It made me laugh and it made me sneeze like a common cold
And I felt alive, and I wanted her to know
The maps of all faces told our tales, showed us where to go
And sometimes you read one, you already seem to know
The story you've been wishing for and a face you want to see
When you turn out the light, when you drift off to sleep
That's the road you wanna travel, that's the place you wanna be
And that is the girl in your dream
Trouble comes and trouble goes but love is like the open road
Roll down the window, breathe the air in
And when the darkness starts to choke, love's a light inside your throat
To heal the hurt to keep the warmth in
And so you read and you dream and get nervous 'cause it seems
Like the words start to blur over time
But all things come and go, it's the way of the world
It's up to us, to keep it alive
And the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name
You make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man
You're my everything and the bells still ring
It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold
So if you really love someone then you should let them know
I was thinking about walking out, but then I cut myself at the devil's mouth
I was foolish but we must break ourselves to grow
You're my ocean, you're my bolt, my undertow,
You're my woman
Will you join me down this road?
Trouble comes and trouble goes but love is like the open road
Roll down the window, breathe the air in
And when the darkness starts to choke, love's a light inside your throat
To heal the hurt to keep the warmth in
Growing up and growing old, watch our stories unfold
Like an atlas to places unknown
And the point of it all is that we can't be scared to fall,
Or to fly,
Or sink,
Or swim
And the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name
You make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man
You're my everything and the bells still ring
Just remember that we loved in many different ways
But I will fight for this, I am here to stay
You're my everything and the bells still ring
