[intro] headlights blur in a memory haze tears fall slow as the long road sways foot drops down where the redline plays only the engine knows the price he pays melody climbs as the long road calls every mile echoing the way he falls strum lifts up like the night he fled running from the words he left unsaid [verse] he remembers love in the fading light every kiss drifting into endless night everyone says there will be more someday but what if she was the one that got away [prechorus] the long road stretches through the quiet ache every mile shaking with the choices he makes [chorus] he shifts faster just to drown the ache heartbeats racing like a fault line break loaded all he had in the back that day picked a direction and drove anyway he shifts faster just to drown the ache heartbeats racing like a fault line break loaded all he had in the back that day picked a direction and drove anyway [verse] push the redline through the tears he hides pain keeps pace no matter how he drives floor it hard but the hurt still stays trying to outrun grief as the long road fades [verse] the roar of the engine is the only friend the only voice he trusts at the bitter end they say move on but they never see what if losing her meant losing destiny [bridge] gas pedal sinking like a promise lost every mile paid at a heavy cost grief in the throttle and fire in his chest running from the memories he never confessed wind cuts sharp like the words unsaid love still echoes where the silence bled he floors it hard but the truth remains you cant outrun heartbreak on open plains speed cant fix what the past became and the long road whispers her name [chorus] he shifts faster just to drown the ache heartbeats racing like a fault line break loaded all he had in the back that day picked a direction and drove anyway he shifts faster just to drown the ache heartbeats racing like a fault line break loaded all he had in the back that day picked a direction and drove anyway he shifts faster just to drown the ache heartbeats racing like a fault line break loaded all he had in the back that day picked a direction and drove anyway [outro] he shifts faster just to drown the ache heartbeats racing like a fault line break sunrise hits where the shadows fray he keeps driving on through the choices he made lost in the long road fading into the grey
