Alex Catrambone - George Eldridge Trailhead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember us under that wide open sky,
Your laugh like the breeze, soft and wild.
The plains stretched far, like the dreams we shared,
Now I stand here, and it feels so bare.

[Pre-Chorus]
I see the rivers running, but they don't carry me to you,
The sun sets slower when it's lost its view.

[Chorus]
I miss you like the roads I used to know,
Winding through the valleys, where love would grow.
But you're better without me, I see it clear,
Still, I crave the way it felt when you were near.

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, you're the open fields I'll never roam,
Oh-oh, but you've built a life better on your own.

[Verse 2]
The mountains stood tall, like the strength you gave,
But I chipped away at what we couldn't save.
The plains are golden, but they seem so far,
Like the light in your eyes that outshines the stars.

[Pre-Chorus,]
I see you thriving where the wildflowers grow,
And I'm stuck on this dusty, lonesome road.

[Chorus,
I miss you like the roads I used to know,
Winding through the valleys, where love would grow.
But you're better without me, I see it clear,
Still, I crave the way it felt when you were near.

[Bridge
If I could turn back, I'd change the course we took,
But I see now I was just a page in your book.
You're the horizon, the one I can't chase,
And I'm the shadows, fading in place.

[Final Chorus
I miss you like the roads I used to know,
The curves and the trails where my heart would go.
But you're better without me, though I want you so,
You're free like the wind, and I'm the dust below.

[Outro,
Oh-oh, I miss you like the roads I used to know,
But some roads end where they're meant to go.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Better without me, better alone.
