There's a freeway that's drowning in my headlights

And it's keeping me half awake

The seams in the blacktop have a pulse so slow and dull

But they're just spinning my thoughts away



With every mile I get a little further from you

But that doesn't make this any easier to do



To walk away

From everything I've ever known

To have to wait

And hope I'll find another road to you again

But until then, I'm counting the days



It wasn't like I never said it

It wasn't like you never knew

Sometimes the choice is not to leave or stay

But just to face the truth there in front of you



I'm not real sure just how far I'll have to go

But I've finally realized that I don't need to know



To walk away

From everything I've ever known

To have to wait

And hope I'll find another road to you again



But until then, I'll find a way

To hurt a little less, so I can save

Any forgiveness that is left to try again

But until then, I'm counting the days
