It's a forty minute drive to your house
But it's taken almost three hours to get there
Twenty miles down the parkway south
Give me just enough time to get my head clear
And I know that things weren't always this way
And I know that sometimes you just don't want to say
"Goodbye," you said as you walked out of my house
But I just wanted to know where you were going
I called you last night and you don't pick up the phone
But I just wanted to see what you were doing
It's weird how silence can sometimes be so loud
And how things that are so sweet can be painful
I never thought that seven days could be so long
Until I had to spend each one of them waiting
