It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if I'd known

How unhappy you had become

While I was dreaming of you

With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans


Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head

I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive


I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again

And I know I've been insane
When I think of places I could have been


But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through

With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side

Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted

And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I've been here before

Can't be here no more

Yeah now I'm rolling down California five

With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead

And I'm alive

Hey look at the way I believed in you

And loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
If you'd have told me what was in your heart

Instead of all your lies
I thought that it would kill me
But I'm alive

Yeah, I'm alive
