[Verse 1] You punched in her address at midnight, Said, “Take me somewhere I can’t go,” I knew every backroad between here and heartbreak, But you told me I was wrong. You passed the exit three times over, Wouldn't listen when I said, “Turn,” Then you parked outside her driveway Just to watch somebody else’s porch light burn. [Pre-Chorus] I tried to tell you, “Make a U-turn,” You said, “Buddy, leave me alone,” So I watched you drive in circles With a broken heart and half a tank of gas. [Chorus] Recalculating, recalculating, You keep running from the truth you're facing. Every road you take comes back to her, Every mile just makes it hurt. You can change the highway, You can change the town, But you can't outrun what you can't turn around. So if you're looking for a way to forget— Recalculating. You haven't found it yet. [Verse 2] You asked me for the nearest bar, I gave you seventeen choices. You said, “Pick the one that's darkest,” Like I don't recognize that voice. You told your friends you’re doing better, Then searched her name at 2:03. I don't have a heart, but if I did, Man, I'd feel sorry for me. [Pre-Chorus] I tried to tell you, “Take the next right,” You said, “I know where I'm going.” Funny thing about a stubborn man— He never hears the warning. [Chorus] Recalculating, recalculating, You keep running from the truth you're facing. Every road you take comes back to her, Every mile just makes it hurt. You can change the highway, You can change the town, But you can't outrun what you can't turn around. So if you're looking for a way to forget— Recalculating. You haven't found it yet. [Bridge] Then one rainy Sunday morning, You pulled over by the county line. Turned the engine off and whispered, “Maybe I should be alright.” For the first time all night long, You didn't ask me where to go. You just watched the sunrise coming up And finally let her go. [Final Chorus] Recalculating, recalculating, Maybe healing ain't a destination. Maybe every wrong road has a reason, Maybe letting go just takes some seasons. You don't need another highway, You don't need another town. Sometimes the hardest turn to make Is the one that turns you around. [Outro] Destination deleted. Route cleared. No alternate routes available. ... Drive safe.
