lyrics

Oh Honey I can't quit you
No matter how hard I try
My stubborn heart just keeps on drivin' girl
Into a great and deeper lie

When I resent my reservations
And all the loves I left behind
It feels like callings led me nowhere
But far from freedoms I desire

If we were on an open road
Far away from our home
The two of us
Would we be alright?
The two of us
Would we survive?

Oh I done risks throughout my lifetime
Not like I ain't been here before
Is my sentence almost over, girl?
Are you the key that unlocks doors?

I've been obsessed with preservation
But I'm just trying to survive
Should I surrender to endurance now?
Is that the way it was designed?

If we were on an open road
Far away from our home
Two of us
Would we be alright?
The two of us
Would we survive?

Oh our innocence and freedoms, baby
When did all of that expire?
Weren't we made to love through passions, darling?
But all the times we never tried

If we were on an open road
Far away from our home
Two of us
Would we be alright?
The two of us
Would we survive?
