Colorado
Allison Leah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all I see is an endless sky in front of me
And I'm thinking outloud
'Cause it's just us now
And only music
And other cars passing me
Will I keep up?
Will or ride fast and free or get caught in the breeze?
Am I tough?
Have I grown up?
And have I proven to be everything that I see in myself?
'Cause I don't know where my life will lead
I don't know where this road is taking me
But I've got you in the passenger seat sitting beside me
Yeah I've got you in the passenger seat, right here beside me
So I think I'll keep driving
We've reached the highway
We travel quietly
We hear our song begin to play
You sing along
I take in the moment
I try not to notice the water in your eyes
'Cause it's the kind that matches mine
Will I keep up?
Am I enough? (Oh, my time's come)
Will or ride fast and free or get
Caught in the breeze? (I am moving on)
Am I tough?
Have I grown up?
And have I proven to be everything that I see in myself?
'Cause I don't know where my life will lead (Off I go)
I don't know where this road is taking me (On my own)
But I've got you in the passenger seat sitting beside me
Yeah I've got you in the passenger seat, right here beside me
So I think I'll keep driving
We've reached your doorway
And now you're here to stay
One quick goodbye, before my next hello
And I hit the road
My car is packed, and I have a map
I start to go
I hit the gas and say "Colorado"
I will keep up (Oh, my time's come)
And I'm enough
And I'll ride fast and free till I'm passing the breeze
And I'm tough (I am moving on)
'Cause I've grown up
And I'll use every instinct that you've instilled in me
'Cause I don't know where my life will lead (Off I go)
I don't know where this road is taking me (On my own)
But I've got you in the passenger seat sitting beside me
Yeah I've got you in the passenger seat right here beside me
So I think I'll keep driving
