I?m coming down now
Driving away from three year in your arms
And I, can?t bear the weight of this leaving
I learned that the hard way
As I packed to go
I took one last look at our house in our rearview
And pushed on to my hometown
A thousand miles spent thinking of you
And praying someday I?ll be back around

And yeah, I thought to myself as I turned from you
You better get the hell out fast
And then I thought to myself as I turned from you
You best not look back, but I look back

Do you ever wonder late at night when you come home
Where it is that I?ve gone
Do you ever wonder at what it is we?ve done
Do you ever look back, I hope you look back
And well, what would you do if you weren?t afraid
Would you turn on the lights and call me home
Well just, say the words, say it one more time
And I might be home, I might be coming home

And yeah, I thought to myself as I turned from you
You better get the hell out fast
And then I thought to myself as I turned from you
You best not look back, but I look back

Know now that I never meant to hurt you
Just know I only wish you peace
Know I only wish you everything
Everything you ever found in me
If you ever need me baby
Just whisper my name and close your eyes
And I swear I?ll meet you by the river
Where you first gave me a piece of your life

And yeah, I thought to myself as I turned from you
You better get the hell out fast
And then I thought to myself as I turned from you
You best not look back, but I look back

Do you look back
I hope your looking
I hope you look back
