I'll be sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face
Gone fast, as freedom on good wind
If I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
Here in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying
No place to run for a girl like me
I want to burn like August, shine like gold dust
Where everyday living can't hold me
If I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying
So when I reach for you from some way down place
Don't be a stranger who won't show his face
I got no promise, but these words I say
I carry you, you carry me
If I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying
I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying
