The Girl Who Drove Away

It starts as nothing Just a thought or a dream Then one day you're in the driver's seat The key is in the ignition And no one gave you permission It's only you in the car And only you know how uncertain you are How your heart is racing Still you reach for the moment you'll finally say I'm the girl who drove away Leave the fear and doubt behind Choose the road less traveled Not the memories too real Not the guilt that left you paralyzed Close your eyes and everything's clearer Your life's in the rearview mirror If no one knows who you were The line between the dream and you starts to blur Standing at the crossroad There's the girl who was written in your DNA Or the girl who drove away If I could feel it The way the day blows across the sky And how the miles keep on flying by The dawn is breaking, the sun's nearly waking The life inside me If only I could turn the key
