Will I ever stop? I don't even tap the brakes Afraid that you're gonna put me down by bringing up mistakes Different reality was taunted Tried to act how you wanted It took too many takes But that doesn't negate the things that you taught me But three years, two time almost fought me Tryna rise above it still gets lofty So, I just drive by, take a sip of this coffee I'm good I see it there on Maple Lane Dusty tires soaked in rain His old red car still the same I grip the wheel and feel the shame I'm just passing by, passing by Every few weeks I wonder why The road keeps pulling me away Words I can't find Things I can't say I don't like to assume When we get in a room We'll both get ticked off Tick tick boom Like explosions seem inevitable But all that aside you're incredible You provided for the family Gave me a new life Showed me work ethic Taught me to do right But every time we talk It's your turn. You right I think that there's demons inside That you fight Well, maybe, you have yet to get under my skin Tell me why I let you? Wish I could wipe the slate clean Just met you Forgive and forget But I never could forget who Showed me how to be a man The times you said you loved me I could count on one hand Maybe on two And that's being generous You see me drive by that window Remember this The garden's overgrown with weeds His porch light flickers like it bleeds I catch my breath, my heart recedes I drive on past It's what he needs But does he wonder Does he wait Or has the silence sealed our fate? I'm just passing by, passing by Every few weeks I wonder why The road keeps pulling me away Words I can't find Things I can't say A lifetime of lessons A head full of pride But the gap grows wide When the truth's denied I tell myself Maybe next time But the next time comes And I just drive
