Open Road
Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For some time now you seem to hear me but it's still not clear
Where are you now do you feel me close to you
I'd like to say that we are doin' fine
But that would only mean that you were still a friend of mine
But even friends would lend an ear and beg you speak your mind
Say it to me straight don't play around

It seems this child is movin on
Don't ask if love will stick around
I know you drive, drive drive drive
An open road
And if this child is movin on
Don't ask if love will stick around
I know you drive, drive drive
An open road

Don't you ask if love
Don't you ask if love
But don't ask if love
Don't ask if love will stick around

Down in the hollow where you conceal all your frozen fears
Step out my love let me see you in the light
I know you've really got a lot to give
There's a whole world out there and you've got your life to live
Take a break assessing baby all the evidence
And tell me what you feel just keep it real

It seems this child is movin on
Don't ask if love will stick around
I know you drive, drive drive drive
An open road
And if this child is movin on
Don't ask if love will stick around
I know you drive, drive drive
An open road

Don't you ask if love
Don't you ask if love
But don't ask if love
Don't ask if love will stick around

Only a fool would want to keep in chains a wild spirit
You're free my love never had a lock on you
The coast is clear for you to up and go
You're the only one who knows if love will bring you home
Put it to me easy baby if you got the time
And say it to me straight don't play around

It seems this child is movin on
Don't ask if love will stick around
I know you drive, drive drive drive
An open road
And if this child is movin on
Don't ask if love will stick around
I know you drive, drive drive
An open road

Don't you ask if love
Don't you ask if love
But don't ask if love
Don't ask if love will stick around





You know this child is movin' on
Don't ask if love will stick around
