behind those pretty hazel eyes
she flashed a pretty secret smile
it got him hooked, so he just looked and took her in
they snapped no summer photographs
to prove that they had loved and laughed
they just drove the open road and took it in
road trip west, golden crest into burning leaves
holding hands, changing plans, wanting to be free
lonely nights when nothing's right
dust into the wind
just remember you were here....
the spotlight sweeps across so fast
it's dark too soon, nothing lasts
so let it seep into your skin while you can, take it in
try to feel it deeper yet
if it marks your heart, you won't forget
don't be afraid, open up and take it in, take it in
take it in, take it in
just take it, take it, take it, take it in
driving east, pedal pushed, to the rising sun
the windows down, music up, and the heater on
everything behind is gone, left inside a dream
so remember what you're feeling now
the light, the heat, the love, the crowd
we've never been right here like this before
and will not be again
so take it in, take it in
just take it, take it, take it, take it in
the spotlight sweeps across so fast
it's dark too soon, nothing lasts
so let it seep into your skin while you can, take it in
try to feel it deeper yet
if it marks your heart, you won't forget
don't be afraid, open up and take it in, take it in
running through the sprinkler on the lawn in the Phoenix desert sun…
cruising Central Avenue high school nights in Dad's red pickup truck…
the drive to the other side of the world, not knowing how you'd eat or live…
sitting on that dock wondering why you couldn't seem to give…
that solo trip to Sonar fest, white alleys of Ibiza town,
adobe walls and narrow streets cooling off so much when the sun went down…
that French guy you stayed up with speaking Spanish with til way past dawn,
the one you loved and lost and still can't get your mind around!
