Side Of The Road Lyrics - Veruca Salt

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 feel 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 

And 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 with many children and a man and a wife 

And did she love him and take her hair down at night 

If I stray away too far 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 used to always go 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la 

If only for a minute or two 

I want to see what it feels to be without you 

To know the touch of my own skin 

Against the sun against the wind
