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
