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
