Sit here and we talk,
|
Sit and talk in the dark,
|
Say we¡¯ve come to a compromise,
|
Only break each other¡¯s hearts,
|
I walk out of your front door,
|
I glance back as I turn the key,
|
You turn off the light on the porch,
|
And I wonder if this is how it¡¯s gotta be,
|
Cause it¡¯s a long drive home,
|
Down these empty dim moon lit back roads,
|
Cause it¡¯s a long drive home,
|
Will I ever get there I don¡¯t know
|
I glance down at my speed,
|
I¡¯m doing 105,
|
I drive on without hesitation,
|
I drive on through the night,
|
It¡¯s just three months ago,
|
This road didn¡¯t seem this long,
|
Just three months ago,
|
I never thought that I¡¯d sing this song,
|
Cause it¡¯s a long drive home,
|
Down these empty dim moonlit backroads,
|
Cause it¡¯s a long drive home,
|
Will I ever get there I don¡¯t know.
|
What does my heart have to say about all this?
|
It doesn¡¯t know
|
What if this turns out a great mistake
|
You¡¯ll never know
|
Do I love her, should I try to fake?
|
I don¡¯t think so.
|
But these are answers that I need to hear
|
Just let it go,
|
I pull into my drive,
|
I wonder where I went wrong,
|
Walk through my door a different man
|
A man who¡¯s much more strong,
|
Cause when we started out,
|
I didn¡¯t know what love was all about,
|
But now that we are through,
|
I know how to love because of you,
|
It was a long drive home,
|
Trying to rid my mind of all these ghosts,
|
It was a long drive home,
|
With the smell of you still lingering on my clothes,
|
It was a long drive home,
|
What I want now is to be alone,
|
It was a long drive home,
|
Down these empty dim moonlit backroads,
|
Long drive home.
