I still know the cracks in your driveway Still know every song you would sing Got a picture in my wallet fading Like the promises I couldn't keep I thought freedom felt like flying Thought I'd find something more out there Now every night feels like a long drive With nobody sitting in that chair And every city light reminds me Of the way your eyes would shine I gave away forever For a moment that wasn't mine Now I'm screaming your name through the open window Trying to outrun the ghost I became I was young, I was reckless I was blind to what mattered Now every road just leads me back to the same place And I'd give every mile I've driven Every excuse I've ever made Just to hear you say you miss me The way I miss you every day My friends say I should keep moving Like the past is something you can lose But every crowded room gets quiet When somebody mentions you I remember your apartment The coffee cups and midnight talks How you loved me at my worst And I still found a way to walk Now the silence hits different When there's nobody to blame I finally learned the lesson But I learned it way too late Now I'm screaming your name through the open window Trying to outrun the ghost I became I was young, I was reckless I was blind to what mattered Now every road just leads me back to the same place And I'd give every mile I've driven Every excuse I've ever made Just to hear you say you miss me The way I miss you every day If I could turn our time backwards I'd find the night I let you go I'd hold you closer than forever And never let your hand leave mine But the clock keeps moving forward And regret won't change a thing So I'm writing all these words You'll probably never hear me sing Now I'm screaming your name through the open window Trying to outrun the ghost I became [back to singing] I was young, I was reckless I was blind to what mattered Now every road just leads me back to the same place And I'd give every mile I've driven Every excuse I've ever made Just to hear you say you love me One more time before you fade So if these words ever find you Know I'm still carrying the blame I left looking for a better life And lost the best thing that I had
