[Verse 1]
Rows after rows of passenger planes
Headed out again, running all in vain
Motel blues, only bad news

[Chorus]
Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane
Slow in the sunshine, fast in the rain
Time moved, so swiftly all of those days

While we were making plans, it drifted away
[Pre-Chorus]
I lay awake at night envisioning
A trace from the past
This heavy heart of mine, it never fails
To bring me right back
[Chorus]
Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane
Slow in the sunshine, fast in the rain
Time moved, so swiftly all of those days
I still remember how you used to say
"Something good will come out of this"

How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
How could I break away from you?
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
