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 want to be alone if only for a minute or two i want to see what it feels like to leave without you i want to feel the touch of my own skin against the sun against the wind i walked out in a field the grass was high and it brushed against my legs i just stood and looked out at the open space at a farm outside a little ways and i wondered about the people who lived in it and i wondered if they were happy and content were there children and a man and a wife and did she love him and take her hair down at night if i stray to far from you don't go and try to find me it doesn't mean that i don't love you and don't mean that i won't come back and stay beside you it only means that 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 <♪> if only for a minute or two i want to see what it feels like to leave without you i want to feel the touch of my own skin against the sun against the wind
