We've got the open road nothing but blue skies
Here's to the summer days and the starry nights
We took the long way it was the scenic route
You told me all the things that you could never live without

Oh please won't you leave me to my own thoughts
Oh no won't you show me where these paths cross
Oh take all the time that you could ever need
I'll wait in the space where you first left me

Years from now
We'll see exactly how
All of these twists and turns they wrap me up with you
And on the way
We'll make the same mistakes
Learn just how long it takes
To change our point of view

Go through the motions that's what you'll tell yourself
Taking the same advice you gave to someone else
We've reached a cross road, a split decision
You said you'd play along with only one condition

Oh please won't you leave me to my own thoughts
Oh no won't you show me where these paths cross
Oh take all the time that you could ever need
I'll wait in the space where you first left me

Years from now
We'll see exactly how
All of these twists and turns they wrap me up with you
And on the way
We'll make the same mistakes
Learn just how long it takes
To change our point of view
