Say it ain't so
Tell me I didn't go
Doing that thing we talked about again
Don't take too long
The road that's before me
The miles lay behind
Dragging it out makes it wrong
All for a purpose
An image in mind
The further away that I drive
A cafe for thinking
The streets I can roam
The more that it seems I'm alive
Twice the distance between us and I am home
Coming up on the rise
That ball of fire in the sky
Too much Smoke in my eyes
For everything to be alright
In the end
Don't take too long
The road that's before me
The miles lay behind
Dragging it out makes it wrong
All for a purpose
An image in mind
The further away that I drive
A cafe for thinking
The streets I can roam
The more that it seems I'm alive
Twice the distance between us and I am home
Twenty-Four Miles of bridge just ahead
The lake on both side and I'm clearing my head
Romance perverted again and again
Keep trying to cheat
But I'll never win
No magical attraction
Nor chemical reaction
It's just a distraction
To get satisfaction
My self deception
My own misconception
Keeps leading me in the wrong damn direction
Don't take too long
The road that's before me
The miles lay behind
Dragging it out makes it wrong
All for a purpose
An image in mind
The further away that I drive
A cafe for thinking
The streets I can roam
The more that it seems I'm alive
Twice the distance between us and I am home
