[Verse 1] We took that long drive again Same cracked seat, same worn road Your suitcase by your knees Every zipper pulled up closed The gas light blinked on and off Past the field where we first kissed You watched the lines in the dark Like you’d already left all this [Pre-Chorus] Every word felt too loud So we kept them in our chests Like the backseat held the pieces Of the love we couldn’t fix [Chorus] We took that long drive again (not knowing if it was the last time) We took that long drive again (trying not to read each sign) If I love you, I let go Let you choose your own sky line We took that long drive again (not knowing if it would be the last time) [Verse 2] You laughed at the motel sign Half the letters burned away Said some things just lose their light Even though they choose to stay At the county line, you looked down Like you felt the break arrive I wanted to pull you close But I opened up my hands this time [Pre-Chorus] And the taillights stitched the night Into stories we outgrew Every mile a small surrender Saying, "I’ll still wait for you" [Chorus] We took that long drive again (not knowing if it was the last time) We took that long drive again (trying not to cross that line) If I love you, I let go Set you loose and hope you find We took that long drive again (not knowing if it would be the last time) [Bridge] Now your side’s an empty sweater On the seat where you used to lean I drive that same long stretch Let the wind decide the scene Some nights I swear I feel you Like a ghost inside my lane Like a heart that slipped my fingers Circling back in rain [Chorus] We took that long drive again (not knowing if it was the last time) We took that long drive again (letting go to see what binds) If you love it, let it ride If it’s real, it will rewind We took that long drive again (not knowing if it would be the last time)
