Lyrics

[Verse 1]
His eyes appear vacant
He'd taken more than his share
Trying hard not to awaken
The voice of regret in his ear
He can't escape the timeline
So much worse than he had feared
Lived every moment
Wishing the past would disappear
[Verse 2]
He took the long way
On the freeway
He took the long way
On the freeway
[Verse 3]
She was his all and everything
But her strength, it needed space
Hеr love was but a haunting
She left, but nеver went away
[Verse 4]
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
[Verse 5]
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
[Verse 6]
It couldn't be had
What he wanted to hold
Oh, he dared to let go
He should have known
[Verse 7]
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
