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"
