I was listening to something that you gave me
on the freeway just above the posted speed
I was leaving town for good because I loved you
and the risks of love were just to much for me
a song came on that I have never heard before
it almost made me turn back towards your place
but then I thought of all the ways you moved me
it'd happed if your feelings ever changed
I turned the music up until it hurt my ears
and pushed the tears right back into my eyes
I tried not to look up into the rear-view mirror
at the life with you I had to leave behind
