I'll be thinkin' about younAs I drive far, far awaynNot knowin' how long I'll be gonenAnd if I'll ever return to this placenTo see your beautiful facenI'm drivin' from the memoriesnThat haunt me when I'm herenI'm tired of being chasednBy my thoughts and my fearsn nSo here's a note for younSaying I won't be here tomorrownI'll be driving up the coastnAnd drowning in my sorrownDon't worry about menI think I'll be just finenAs I fade into the nightnAnd my heart is full of frightn nMy hands are speakin' to the wheelnTellin' me to turn the car aroundnAnd tell you what I've wanted to saynBut I cry as I think about younSo I push the pedal downnAnd continue to drive awaynOne day I'll returnnAnd you'll understand whynI had to leave in silencenEven though I wanted to tryn nI felt something therenLast night when we talkednI’m so comfortable with younEven with every sarcastic wordnAnd every cute mocknBut the more I wish for somethingnThe more reality makes me thinknThat what I want is not realnEven when you stare and winknnI’ve got so many reasonsnTo never come back to this placenSo I’ll drive to the highest hillsnAnd let my mind begin to erasenThe conversations we havenI never want to replay againnBecause every time I donThey always draw me inn nI just wish you would understandnThe way you seem to feelnThe way you speak to menAnd the way you make things realnWell, I’m due back home next weeknBut I’ll need longer than thatnBecause every time you’re aroundnMy heart and head are trappednIn this imaginary life I picturenWith just you and menLaying in the bed togethernWatching the sun rise above the sean nI dream about us waking upnStaring into each other’s eyesnKnowing we both feel the same waynAnd that we’ve won the greatest prizenEach other, each othernThere is no other, no othernAnd there’s no better, no bettern‘Cause we’d be together, togethernBut I find myself dreamingnToo much about that lifenThat will never be ours to sharenSo up the coast I’ll drivenUntil night is day and day is nightnAnd up the coast I’ll drivenAs I sit here and I crynTrying to hold them back,nI’ll try, I’ll trynBut in the endnIt’s up the coast nWhere I’ll start my new life
