night after night, she lies awake and looks at the stars

she's dreaming of the elegant bars

the ocean and convertible cars

and day after day she dreams about running away

'cause every moment feels just the same

as the one that just floated away

so when you're ready, let me know

i'll meet you by the side of the road

i'll pack up all my things and we'll go

so when you're ready, let me know

i'll meet you by the side of the road

i'll pack up all my things and we'll go

'cause i'm not leaving you behind

'til you came around and made up your mind, made up your mind

she can't imagine how she can stay

caught up in this metropolan haze

so when you're ready, let me know

i'll meet you by the side of the road

i'll pack up all my things and we'll go

i think i might be leaving you behind

it was really just a matter of time

until i came around and made up my mind
