There were ocean waves, big city lights
Lazy summer days, and crazy sleepless nights

somewhere out on an open road
You drove yourself out of your mind
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 lived, I learned, stayed up all night
I'll see you when the time is right again

I've got old shoes in a brand new town
I wear 'em like they're starin', 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 down

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 lived, I learned, stayed up all night
I'll see you when the time is right again

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

You can't wait for the sun to rise,
You'll never know until you try
We make mistakes and learn in time
we all grow old, we live we die

We woke before the sun could rise
We packed our bags and waved goodbye
We drove into a great sunset
And lived a life with no regret
(And lived a life with no regret)
(don't wait, don't wait)

I can't wait for the sun to rise
I'll never know untill I try.
We make mistakes and learn through time,
we all grow old, we live, we die
we all grow old, we live, we die, we live
