Stumbled off the porch steps Sat down in the car Only thirteen blocks across this town To get to where you are And that don’t offer me much time To make up my mind So I best be driving slow On my way to letting go
These headlights they just want to fade Off into the night But if they’re half as stubborn as me They’ll just keep shining bright I ain’t ever been one to settle Like the dust that’s on the dash And since the feeling ain’t strong I’ll just move on and leave this in my past
Once you’re gone I know your memory Will somehow get the best of me So why question everything I do Unsure of turning you away Wondering about how I feel today Until you found somebody new So I’ve been holding on way too long But not another minute I might miss you that much But you can’t call it love if you ain’t in it
Red light turns to green Then back to red again I wish there were some other travelers out here To slow my traveling Even though I can’t hold on Inside I still don’t know Oh, and it troubles me so
Once you’re gone I know your memory Will somehow get the best of me So why question everything I do Unsure of turning you away Wondering about how I feel today Until you found somebody new So I’ve been holding on way too long But not another minute I might miss you that much But you can’t call it love if you ain’t in it
Once you’re gone I know your memory Will somehow get the best of me So why question everything I do Unsure of turning you away Wondering about how I feel today Until you found somebody new So I’ve been holding on way too long But not another minute I might miss you that much But you can’t call it love if you ain’t in it
The car comes to a rest in the drive You open up the door and I see you smile
