Before the Sun Goes Down

Dear God, the sunset looks so beautiful from your side of the state
It breaks my heart to have to watch it from the mirrors of my car as I drive away
Just grip the wheel and hold on tight, everything will be alright

It feels like I'm racing the horizon, trying to make my way back home
I'm heading towards the right direction, but a voice in my head is screaming
"No! Turn around, turn around! You still have time if you hurry now!"
To make it back in time to see you before the sun goes down

I keep your picture on my dashboard, so you're with me when I drive
But that doesn't make it any easier for me to say goodbye
I pulled you in and by the time I opened my eyes again, I was leaving you behind
