My Dad Is Dead - Seven Years lyrics

I've got the keys in my hand And I'm not just talking I'll take to the road And I won't stop driving Until I've put a thousand miles Between you and me You don't think that I'll do it But you don't really know for sure And neither do I That's why I've got to try Seven years is not the kind of time You can just leave behind Memories linger and Mistakes come clear Seven years is not the kind of time You can just leave behind Even with that distance I still feel near to you Standing at pump number three I watch the numbers fly by And the dollars become hours Since I left without goodbyes I was always the coward Could never stand a scene And now I got what I wanted And I'm running away again Seven years is not the kind of time You can just leave behind Memories linger and Mistakes come clear Seven years is not the kind of time You can just leave behind Even with that distance I still feel near to you No matter how far I go I can never get away And I'm just kidding myself If I think that I can Even in the worst times You were just a thought away Well some things never change Seven years is not the kind of time You can just leave behind Memories linger and Mistakes come clear Seven years is not the kind of time You can just leave behind Even with that distance I still feel near to you
