Sit here and we talk,

Sit and talk in the dark,

Say weve come to a compromise,

Only break each others 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 its gotta be,

Cause its a long drive home,

Down these empty dim moon lit back roads,

Cause its a long drive home,

Will I ever get there I dont know

I glance down at my speed,

Im doing 105,

I drive on without hesitation,

I drive on through the night,

Its just three months ago,

This road didnt seem this long,

Just three months ago,

I never thought that Id sing this song,

Cause its a long drive home,

Down these empty dim moonlit backroads,

Cause its a long drive home,

Will I ever get there I dont know.

What does my heart have to say about all this?

It doesnt know

What if this turns out a great mistake

Youll never know

Do I love her, should I try to fake?

I dont 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 whos much more strong,

Cause when we started out,

I didnt 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.
