[Verse 1] Your old blue scarf still hangs behind the door I kept the ticket stubs, then kept a few more The names that almost crossed my kitchen light I built whole roads from one hello at night [Pre-Chorus] I checked the gauge with a trembling hand There’s only so far a full tank can stand [Chorus] I’m not turning back for the miles we missed Or the almost-kiss I kept on my list The needle dips; I can let it be That road ran out, it wasn’t meant for me I’ll spend what’s left where the open roads bend No more saving fuel for a maybe again [Verse 2] Some love was winter, some never got a name Some warmed the room, then left without a flame I bless the turns that brought me to this place And quit retracing every vanished face [Bridge] Empty doesn’t mean I lost my way It means I’ve got room for another day [Final Chorus] I’m not turning back for the miles we missed Or the almost-kiss I kept on my list The needle dips; I can let it be That road ran out, it wasn’t meant for me I’ll spend what’s left where the open roads bend No more saving fuel for a maybe again
