Late night Sunday 
2000 miles left to go 
I still love you 
But I’m trying to let it go 
We knew it all along 
Three months of counting down the days 
Now you’re going home to stay 

I resent the strained politeness 
Cross-country conversation gives 
I drive in silence 
Self-titled king of distances 
The Vegas lights ahead 
Like a fallen chandelier 
Why did I ever volunteer 
For this trip to nowhere? 

I gave you everything 
The perfect performance 
Prepackaged memories 
In wallet-size portraits 
We’ve come so many miles 
But now I can’t go much farther for you 
This is the final duty 
Of a long distance martyr 

Wednesday morning 
500 miles left to go 
Almost on empty 
My resolve is running low 
You say “that’s good enough” 
“I can walk the rest from here” 
A playful smile from ear to ear 
How can you desert me? 

All my life I dreamed of finding someone 
Ruled you out 
Maybe too soon to tell 
Charted our final destination 
Wanted to end it well 
Keeping alive the memories 
So maybe in time 
You will come back to me.
