[Future Islands - Beauty of the Road lyrics]

Left out on the road eight years ago
And you left too but I never
Really thought you would really go
If I knew then I’s really losing you
I’d change my ways and my
Mind fore I lose control

Cuz in a darkened space
We watched our souls replace
And said our ‘goodbyes’
But we didn’t know the shape

And for years now i been hunting you down
Trying to find out your hiding place
Oh, at last! You’re here in my arms again
And I don’t know how long
So I won’t waste a bit
The beauty of the road is lost
In your eyes I drift softly back to when
We were young and in love

Where does it go? You spend your whole life
Wishing and working all
You gets the end of the rope
Oh, what do we know?
You spend your whole life searching
And find the thing
You’re looking is what you lost so long ago

And for years now
I’ve been hunting the sound
That soft breath on the back of my neck
Got me running

Oh, at last! You’re here in my arms again
And I don’t know how long
So I won’t waste a bit
The beauty of the road is lost
In your eyes I drift softly back to when
We were young and in love

You’re here in my arms again
And I don’t know how long
So I won’t waste a bit
The beauty of the road is lost
In your eyes I drift softly back to when
We were young and in love oh we were young
And in love i was young
And in love
