I'm fading out of sight

My wheels are the only sound

Runnin' at the speed of sight

I can't slow down



Out on the open road

Racing to beat the night

No matter where i go

Guess i'll get there all right



So why don't i understand

What's trippin' me up

It used to be a simple thing



Chorus:

I can't hold on, i can't return

Time to let go, start to live and learn



I took the one way flight

Too high to see the ground

Now i know how long it takes

A heart to come down



Why don't i understand what's trippin' me up

It ought to be a simple thing



Chorus:



I can't hold on, i can't return

Rivers will run, bridges will burn

I'm not sure just how

But there's no lookin' back now
