You wait in the car on the side of the road   Lemme go and stand awhile   I wanna know you're there   But I wanna be alone      If only for a minute or two   I wanna see what it feels like to be without you   I wanna 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 legs   I just stood and looked out at the open space   And a farmhouse out a ways      And I wondered about the people who lived in it   And I wondered if they were happy and content   Were there children and a man and a wife?   Did she love him and take her hair down at night?      If I stray away too far from you   Don't go 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      If only for a minute or two   I wanna see what it feels like to be without you   I wanna know the touch of my own skin   Against the sun, against the wind
