Open Road Lyrics

It's been a long time since I rode on open roads

And reawakened my desire for adventure

Contemplating little else but the times I took a chance

Fear and zeal in equal measure

And the beat of your heart races rapidly away

When you take the time to recollect the days

Oh, those days, did you ever appreciate?

When you think they caress you like a feather

But they weighed on you as heavily as stones

Leave it all behind to feel sunny and stormy weather

Like a day on the only open road

What comes across is not for us to know

Looking for reasons for the things I never did

I just simply can't be bothered to remember

The eye of my mind must've filters on its lid

Making squalor become splendour

It's as fleeting as a spark from the braking of a train

If you blink you may not witness it again

There and then, did you fully appreciate?

Only life makes you as tough as shoe leather

After dropping you and breaking every bone

Never meant to cruise along or grasp it altogether

Like a day on the open road

What comes across is not for us to know

When you think they caress you like a feather

But they weighed on you as heavily as stones

Leave it all behind to feel sunny and stormy weather

Like a day on the only open road

What comes across is not for us to know
