My words are wrapped up in lies for alibis
With the intention of finding my way down to you
Covered with guilt and shameless passion
Counting my breath whispering ‘you’re worth it’
I’ll make my way to your front door

We may never know what could have been
Had we only pushed on through
And held on to those nights when the sun came up too soon
But opposite directions leave us drifting more apart
If only I could take a U-turn and find a way back into your heart

We’ll make the most of whatever time we have
To realise we left too many words unsaid
But my foots already on the pedal and I’m headed back home
A place that bares no comfort when I’m 60 miles from you
Craving your embrace that always gets me through

We may never know what could have been
Had we only pushed on through
And held on to those nights when the sun came up too soon
But opposite directions leave us drifting more apart
If only I could take a U-turn and find a way back into your heart

Your words pierced my soul when we went our separate ways
The answer we’d been waiting for left me broken down for days
I still feel you in the reality of my deep and dark day dreams
Praying our two separate roads join up at the seams
To take away the endless nights of small silent screams 

We may never know what could have been
Had we only pushed on through
And held on to those nights when the sun came up too soon
But opposite directions leave us drifting more apart
If only I could take a U-turn and find a way back into your heart
