veruca salt - side of the road lyrics

you wait in the car on the side of the road
let me go and stand a while
i want to 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
it brushed against my leg
i just stood and looked out at the open space
at 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 were there 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
la la la...
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
