I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Running at the speed of of light
And I can't slow down nowOut on an open road
Racin' to beat the night
No matter where I'm goin'
I guess I'll get there, alrightSo why don't I understand
What's trippin' me up?
It oughta be a simple thingI can't hold on and I can't return
It's time to let go and start to live and learnI took a one-way flight
Too high to see the ground
Now I know how long it takes
A heart to come downAlone on the highway now
Takin' it mile by mile
I'd rather be a lonely man
Than an imprisoned childSo why do I feel the strain
That keeps trippin' me up?
Will it ever be a simple thing?I can't hold on and I can't return
Rivers will run and bridges will burn
And I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back nowWhen everything fades away
And there's nothing left
Then you got to keep rememberin'I can't slow down and I can't return
It's time to let go and start to live and learnSo why don't I understand, yeah
What's trippin' me up?
Well it oughta be a simple thingI can't hold on and I can't return
Rivers will run and bridges will burn
Well I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back nowI won't slow down and I can't return
As night turns to dawn the bridges will burn
Well I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back now
I can't hold on and I can't return
It's time to let go and start to live and learn
