He keeps chasing down the highwaaaaay, but they won’t turn baaaaack again And he’s left there still wondering where the dream went [Verse 2] He still hears her laughter in the corners of that place He still sees the life he pictured, but time erased her face He thought tomorrow held the answers, but it only brought more rain Now the past feels like a stranger, and the future speaks the same [Chorus] Where the dream went, he can’t say Did it fade in the silence, or get lost along the way? He keeps chasing down the highways, but they won’t turn back again And he’s left there still wondering where the dream went [section instrumental_build] [instrumentation soft_piano, light_acoustic_picking, low_strings, subtle_drums, clean_electric_plucks] [dynamics gradual_build, rising_intensity, fuller_by_bar_8] [production reverb_texture, atmospheric_lift] [transition into_bridge] [Bridge] Some nights he tries to hold on, but slips beneath the weight And the man staring back at him doesn’t know who he became [Final Chorus] Where the dream went, he can’t say Did it break in the silence, or get swept by yesterday? He keeps chasing down the highways, but they’re ghosts he can’t outrun And he’s left there still wondering where the dream went.
