lyrics

If we do it right, This could be the start,
Of a trip that’s going to ease your broken heart,
If you want to go, I will come along,
And I’ll try to help you right what has gone wrong.

It might take a week for you to start a conversation,
Just because I don’t sound the way he did,
But I know we’ll speak as we ride across the nation,
Rediscovering the beauty that’s been hid.

When we’re back you won’t have to come to see me,
Tell your friends what had happened on the road,
And you know nothing lasts forever anyway,
So you might as well just pack your things and go.

You can pick the tunes, For the stereo,
We can even sing along to Billy Joel,
Though you’re not a fan, Except for that one song,
When you play it we can karaoke on.

And two weeks may pass before you smile when I am singing,
Just because I don’t harmonise like him,
But these days move fast, If you can just see that you’re winning,
And illuminate the things which had grown dim.

CHORUS

I will try to entertain you, Try to make you smile,
Take your mind from all your troubles, Just for a little while…

CHORUS
