It’s a forty minute drive to your house   But it’s taken almost three hours to get there   Twenty miles down the parkway south   Give me just enough time to get my head clear      And I know that things weren’t always this way   And I know that sometimes you just don’t want to say      “Goodbye,” you said as you walked out of my house   But I just wanted to know where you were going   I called you last night and you don’t pick up the phone   But I just wanted to see what you were doing   It’s weird how silence can sometimes be so loud   And how things that are so sweet can be painful   I never thought that seven days could be so long   Until I had to spend each one of them waiting
