[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming sixteenth-note rhythm] Night drive out Down the winding roads Got a headlight out And the radio loud My silent thoughts are drowning it out [Verse 1] [male vocals enter] You got a lot More than you show Dreams in a box Under your clothes But I got to know Was it ever enough To carry the weight Of both of us You got to go Get back to yourself Find that voice You always shelved And I got to know Was it ever enough [Pre-Chorus] Wind in the window, cuts like a truth We were just kids, wearing grown-up shoes Every little promise that we couldn’t keep Echoes in the space where we used to sleep [Chorus] [strumming intensity increases] You got a lot Give it all To the life that you’ve been dreaming of But I got to know Was it ever enough For the pieces that we couldn’t pick up You got to go You got to know That loving yourself Don’t mean letting me go You got to go Whoa You got to go Whoa [Verse 2] Coffee getting cold on the kitchen floor Suitcase half-zipped by the bedroom door All of our plans like Polaroids curled Colors fading out of our cardboard world You said, “Maybe in another time, another place” But we can’t keep lying to each other’s face Every little silence, every swallowed word Is a goodbye we’ve already heard [Bridge] [vocal ad-libs with grit] You got a lot Scars and stories You got a lot Of quiet glory And I got to know Whoa Can you stand alone When the lights go low And I got to know Whoa If letting you fly Is how I let you grow Yeah [Breakdown] [guitar drops to soft fingerpicking] If you ever look back on this night I hope you see more than what went wrong Hope you hear my voice in the dark Like a half-remembered song [Outro] [strumming slows down] So take that road I’ll take this one We did our best But what’s done is done May you find yourself In the rising sun [final G major chord ring out]
