Sit here and we talk,   Sit and talk in the dark,   Say we've come to a compromise,   Only break each other'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 it's gotta be,   Cause it's a long drive home,   Down these empty dim moon lit back roads,   Cause it's a long drive home,   Will I ever get there I don't know   I glance down at my speed,   I'm doing 105,   I drive on without hesitation,   I drive on through the night,   It's just three months ago,   This road didn't seem this long,   Just three months ago,   I never thought that I'd sing this song,   Cause it's a long drive home,   Down these empty dim moonlit backroads,   Cause it's a long drive home,   Will I ever get there I don't know.   What does my heart have to say about all this?   It doesn't know    What if this turns out a great mistake   You'll never know   Do I love her, should I try to fake?   I don'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 who's much more strong,   Cause when we started out,   I didn'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.
