Nothing left to say, said it all, hit a wall
We’ve been dancing round an elephant that don’t fit in the car
Sunlight on your face, growing dark, sky of stars
Couldn’t get my mind off how we’re heading towards a broken heart
Turn’s coming up way too fast
So Imma take the backroads
Off the 109
Just wanna get lost tonight
Go real slow
Gonna take my time
While you’re still fitting your hand in mine
Heaven knows, heaven knows
Why it goes how it goes
But if it’s the last time I drive you home
Then Imma take the backroads
Know ’em like the back of my hand, every curve, every turn
I’ll be dragging this forever til there’s no gas left to burn
Wanna taste your lips, see your eyes
I would spend a thousand lives on you
It’s all coming up way too soon
So Imma take the backroads
Off the 109
Just wanna get lost tonight
Go real slow
Gonna take my time
While you’re still fitting your hand in mine
And heaven knows, heaven knows
Why it goes how it goes
But if it’s the last time I drive you home
Then Imma take the backroads
Take the backroads
Off the 109
Just wanna get lost tonight
Go real slow
Gotta take my time
While you’re still fitting your hand in mine
Heaven knows, heaven knows
Why it goes how it goes
But if it’s the last time I drive you home
Then Imma take the backroads
