Counting The Days

There's a freeway that's drowning in my headlights
And it's keeping me half awake
The seams in the blacktop have a pulse so slow and dull
But they're just spinning my thoughts away

With every mile I get a little further from you
But that doesn't make this any easier to do

To walk away
From everything I've ever known
To have to wait
And hope I'll find another road to you again
But until then, I'm counting the days

It wasn't like I never said it
It wasn't like you never knew
Sometimes the choice is not to leave or stay
But just to face the truth there in front of you

I'm not real sure just how far I'll have to go
But I've finally realized that I don't need to know

To walk away
From everything I've ever known
To have to wait
And hope I'll find another road to you again

But until then, I'll find a way
To hurt a little less, so I can save
Any forgiveness that is left to try again
But until then, I'm counting the days
