♫ His eyes appear vacant He'd taken more than he said Trying hard not to awaken The voice of regret in his ear He can't escape the timeline So much worse than he had feared Left every moment Wishing the best would disappear He took the long way On the freeway He took the long way On the freeway She was his all and everything But a strength that needed space Her love was but a haunting She left but never went away She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way I couldn't get there But he wanted to go For a reason to let go He should have known She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway She took the long way On the freeway
