Sit here and we talk,
Sit and talk in the dark,
Say weâ??ve come to a compromise,
Only break each otherâ??s hearts,
I walk out of your front door,
I glance back as I turn the key,
You turn off the light on the porch,
And I wonder if this is how itâ??s gotta be,
Cause itâ??s a long drive home,
Down these empty dim moon lit back roads,
Cause itâ??s a long drive home,
Will I ever get there I donâ??t know
I glance down at my speed,
Iâ??m doing 105,
I drive on without hesitation,
I drive on through the night,
Itâ??s just three months ago,
This road didnâ??t seem this long,
Just three months ago,
I never thought that Iâ??d sing this song,
Cause itâ??s a long drive home,
Down these empty dim moonlit backroads,
Cause itâ??s a long drive home,
Will I ever get there I donâ??t know.
What does my heart have to say about all this?
It doesnâ??t know
What if this turns out a great mistake
Youâ??ll never know
Do I love her, should I try to fake?
I donâ??t think so.
But these are answers that I need to hear
Just let it go,
I pull into my drive,
I wonder where I went wrong,
Walk through my door a different man
A man whoâ??s much more strong,
Cause when we started out,
I didnâ??t know what love was all about,
But now that we are through,
I know how to love because of you,
It was a long drive home,
Trying to rid my mind of all these ghosts,
It was a long drive home,
With the smell of you still lingering on my clothes,
It was a long drive home,
What I want now is to be alone,
It was a long drive home,
Down these empty dim moonlit backroads,
Long drive home.
