Lyrics
I took the long way home just to clear my mind for a while
Watched the sunset turn the sky to gold, then fade to fire
Thought I'd outgrow this little town and leave it all behind
But some things stay no matter how far you drive
Every backroad, every midnight drive
Every old song I hear comes alive
I could run far, but the truth shines through
No matter where I go, I'm coming back to you
Tried to let go, but the heart don't lie
Some love don't fade, and I do know why
I could run far, but the truth shines through
No matter where I go, I'm coming back to you
I caught my reflection in a café window late at night
Looking like a stranger with a far-off, distant light
Took a deep breath as the memories started to unwind
And wondered if you ever miss me at the same time
Every backroad, every midnight drive
Every old song I hear comes alive
I could run far, but the truth shines through
No matter where I go, I'm coming back to you
Tried to let go, but the heart don't lie
Some love won't fade, and I do know why
I could run far, but the truth shines through
No matter where I go, I'm coming back to you
Maybe love ain't just a place or a name for me
It's the way that you smile, the way that you stay
I swore I'd be fine, said I'd let you go
But every mile just pulls me closer to you
Tried to move on, tried to change my ways
But your name lingers when I pray
Been running fast, I've been chasing highs
But nothing feels right, when you're not by my side
I swore I'd be fine, said I'd let you go
But every road still leads me home
'Cause maybe I finally see
Where I'm meant to be...
Every backroad, every midnight drive
Every old song I hear comes alive
I could run far, but the truth shines through
No matter where I go, I'm coming back to you
Tried to let go, but the heart don't lie
Some love won't fade, and I do know why
