in front of me
I pull the visor a little lower
I sometimes drive
down Broad
Wondering to myself
Will today be the day
I just keep going
The day I don't stop
and turn around
The day I leave this same
old town
Today I went a little farther
than I had before
And I honestly would have felt
no regret for continuing
I knew that but
I've never been a fan of quitting
or running away
But sometime, and some day
Maybe it's better than
the alternative
Driving toward the sun
Echoes of what could've been
Nothing these days
seems simple
Or even like it accomplishes
a thing
Do I just lay back down
And see what tomorrow brings
I don't think I will
Because "could be"
can sting
If I live in regret
I've never felt
like I really fit
Never had that sense
of belong
Please don't interrupt
I'm almost done
with this part of my song
This time, this time
is of the essence
Deal with it early
and deal with it quick
Else this thing
could eat you
Warm sun
on my face when I say
Though I'm all over the place
With these thoughts
Somehow what I want to say
is that this day's almost done
And on that note
I have no regrets about it
So sometimes just listening
to my head instead of
my heart
Is the best thing
especially when
I see no end in site
So goodbye, sleep well
Good night
