there were ocean waves 
 big city lights 
 lazy summer days 
 and crazy sleepless nights 

 somewhere along an open road 
 we drove ourselves out of our minds 
 sometimes to do the things you love 
 you leave the ones you love behind 

 you danced 
 you drank 
 you laughed 
 you cried 
 you went to work 
 and said goodbye 
 i've lived 
 i learnt 
 stayed up all night 
 i'll see you when the time is right again 

 i got old shoes in a brand new town 
 i wear 'em like they're staring, let the tongues hang out 
 i'm just too loose for the same old crowd 
 if i could only see your face before my souls wear out 

 somewhere out on an open road 
 you searched until you looked inside 
 sometimes you've gotta see the world 
 to find out what you left behind 

 you danced 
 you drank 
 you laughed 
 you cried 
 you went to work 
 and said goodbye 
 i've lived 
 i learnt 
 stayed up all night 
 i'll see you when the time is right again 

 wait for me 
 (don't wait, don't wait) 
 wait for me 
 (don't wait, don't wait) 

 we walked the floor, the sun, the rise 
 we packed our bags and waved goodbye 
 we drove into a great sunset 
 and lived a life with no regret 
 we lived a life with no regret 

 (don't wait, don't wait, don't wait, don't wait) 

 i can't recall the sun to rise 
 i'll never know until i try 
 we made mistakes and learned in time 
 but on the road we live and die 

 i can't recall the sun to rise 
 i'll never know until i try 
 we made mistakes and learned in time 
 but on the road we live and die 
 but on the road we live and die 
 we live... 

 (we'll never know...)
