i shut the car door
please let me leave
without a second thought

i started to drive
just let me get far enough
to where i can't turn back

we had no last words
why should i say farewell
to my reason for running

i know if you'd asked
i would've stayed
and lived with the pain

my survival instincts
never were my best trait
i'd trade life for love

but wherever i go
it's only a matter of time
before i find you there, baby

another man with your cologne
your art in a store
your favorite song on the radio

but the soft gray of this dusk
is the color of your eyes
as they looked into mine

and the song on the wind
sounds like the soft whisper of your voice
as you fell asleep on the grass

and the stars remind me
that those nights i loved you
are the same nights you loved her

i begin to wonder what's worse
this physical distance i've placed between us
or the distance you created as your hand was in mine
