Streaks in the Sky

[Verse 1]
It's just the southern road that you leave by
And open windows in your car
It's just the breathing of the city
That says leave me behind

[Chorus]
Forget tomorrow, side with the open road
Pulled apart for you
In the window, unlocked and left open for
For the rising sun
(Taking you back home)

[Verse 2]
If we never meet again
It would be too soon
I'm glad I ran from you
And now my life's a mess
And I'll have to admit that I have made a mistake
And every path that I take
Has lead me right back to here
And I never should have left

[Verse 3]
It's just the second chance that I dreamt of
When you took me into your lives
But there's a peak we have to climb over
So get a running start

[Chorus]
Forget tomorrow, side with the open road
Pulled apart for you
In the window, unlocked and left open for
For the rising sun
(Taking you back home)

[Bridge]
Sitting here
Waiting a year
Hoping for something to change your mind
And in this time I'll see that this is
This is all we have
This is all we have
This is all we have
This is all we have

[Outro]
Before I leave
I'm opening up that door in my house
To face the ones I've left behind
A portrait of a man who stayed
His face is folded up and grayed
But there's something in his eyes
That tells me
This is the life for me
