Wide Open Road Lyrics

This is the poppiest song on the record, and yet it fits in with all these other torch songs. I love how it's just so open ended... it's almost like the protagonist goes through the events in this song every time he awakens.

It's a song about loss, but after the fact and in a context that makes it seem like life has become an alternate universe where the past constantly plays out before the present.

This song should be a standard by now. Why the hell aren't more people covering this?
