Two roads and a long stretch between (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male vocal

She packed up her bags with a whispered goodbye

Left me standing at the edge of this small town sky

Wrote my number on a napkin and said to call when you land

But I know that's a promise she can't always keep in hand

I watch as your headlights fade into white

Counting down every mile till you come back tonight

Your shadow against the sunset fades into dust

And I'm left here wondering what love looks like, really, trust

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

So I'll keep on driving these winding country roads

Hoping someday we can lay this whole journey to rest

Maybe then you won't have to run so fast

And I can finally catch up with where we've been at

Chorus

Two roads and a long stretch between

I'm counting down the miles till you come back home to me again

Every mile marker feels like it's made of gold

Cause in this empty space, your shadow never grows old

Verse 2 – female vocal

He called from the middle of nowhere with a laugh and a sigh

Said the stars are the only witnesses tonight

I listened close as the static turned to you

And I could almost feel the wheels turning over what we used to do

The radio's been quiet for an hour now

Just the hum of the engine and this hollow in my chest somehow

It's funny how a whole day can turn on one wrong word

But he keeps on driving like the only thing he's ever heard

Pre-Chorus – female vocal

So I'll keep on listening to the sound of your voice over static air

Hoping someday you'll run out of miles and we'll both be standing there

Maybe then you won't have to run so fast

And we can finally catch up with what this whole thing has cost

Chorus

Two roads and a long stretch between

I'm counting down the miles till you come back home to me again

Every mile marker feels like it's made of gold

Cause in this empty space, your shadow never grows old

Bridge – both vocalists

Maybe we don't have to say goodbye

Maybe our whole story starts on the other side

Not as a beginning but as an end

Where two roads finally meet and we can be friends

Chorus

Two roads and a long stretch between

I'm counting down the miles till you come back home to me again

Every mile marker feels like it's made of gold

Cause in this empty space, your shadow never grows old
