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
