Through the years, I've tried to rewind that broken tape
All the way, back when we had maps and planned our escape
Then I wake in a forest, and you're crying out for me
If we only knew the truth, I'd find my way to you
I'm on the way, Dear Liza Dear Liza wait for me
We're 17, slow dancing on the porch
I'm on the way, Dear Liza Dear Liza wait for me
An old TV tells stories about you every day
The neighborhood's gone cold they lock the doors and hide away
When I wake in that forest, and you're crying out for me
If I only knew the truth, I'd find my way to you
I'm on the way, Dear Liza Dear Liza wait for me
You're 17, slow dancing on the porch
I'm on the way, Dear Liza Dear Liza wait for me
Know that we still see your face in every passing car darling
The stories written now the ink runs off the pages to our hands
We point our fingers but we do not know the way
The futures hidden now the passengers remain inside their seats
We ask the pilot but the turbulence remains
I'm on the way, Dear Liza Dear Liza wait for me
You're 17, slow dancing on the porch
I'm on the way, Dear Liza Dear Liza wait for me
Know that we still see your face in every passing car darling
Know that we still see your face in every restaurant darling
Know that we will keep on searching for your story til it ends
