Open Roads

i took a ride on your fingertips
heaven high with the thrill of it
and in your eyes for a moment
it’s like we never said goodbye
we took a walk for the hell of it
and then we talked through the thick of it
and in your eyes for a moment
it’s like we never said goodbye
but sometimes went wrong
you never came home
and time takes so long
what are these tears we’re crying
'cos i remember the open roads
met at the corner where no one goes
and no one mattered at all
and i remember the driving rain
soaked to the skin these were perfect days
and i remember it all
friends is such a horrid word
i sit at home with the things we learned
you didn’t phone
and in a different world
we’d have never said goodbye
where are we going with feeling alone
time takes so long
and what are these tears we’re crying
'cos i remember the open roads
met at the corner where no one goes
and no one mattered at all
and i remember the driving rain
soaked to the skin these were perfect days
and i remember it all
and as for then and as for now
as for who and as for how
there’s just one thing i can’t forget
how beautiful you are.
