It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold
So I fell in love with a girl and then I told her so
She was [bad word] in the fountain, blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing
I thought it was childish, but then I caught the joke
It made me laugh and it made me sneeze like [bad word] cold
But I felt alive and I wanted her to know

The maps on our faces told our tale, showed us where to go
And sometimes you read one you already seem to know
story you've been wishing for and a face you want to see
When you turn out the light, when you drift off to sleep
That's the road you want to travel, that's the place you want to be
And that is the girl in your dream
 [bad word] and trouble goes but love is like the open road
Roll down the window, breathe the air in
And when the darkness starts to choke, love's the light inside your throat
To heal the hurt, to keep the warmth in

So you read and you dream and get nervous cos it seems 
like the words start to blur over time
but all [bad word] and go, it's the way of the world
it's up to us to keep it alive

and the breeze in the trees seems to whisper your name
you make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man
you're my everything
and the bells still ring
just remember that we love in many different ways
but I will fight for this, I am here to stay
You're my everything
And the bell still rings

It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold
So if you really love someone then you should let them know
I was thinking about walking out but then I caught myself at the devil's mouth
I was foolish, but we must break ourselves to grow
You're my ocean, you're my boat, my undertow
You're my woman, will you join me down this road?

Well [bad word] and trouble goes but love is like the open road
Roll down the window, breathe the air in
And when the darkness starts to choke, love's the light inside your throat
To heal the hurt, to keep the warmth in

Growing up and growing old, watch our stories unfold
Like an atlas to places unknown
And the point of it all is that we can't be scared to fall
Or to fly, or sink, or swim

and the breeze in the trees seems to whisper your name
you make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man
you're my everything
and the bells still ring
just remember that we love in many different ways
but I will fight for this, I am here to stay
You're my everything
And the bell still rings

and the breeze in the trees seems to whisper your name
you make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man
you're my everything
and the bells still ring
just remember that we love in many different ways
but I will fight for this, I am here to stay
You're my everything
And the bell still rings
