lyrics

There's an empty seat beside me driving through the open fields
This green and pleasant land unfolds, my hands upon the wheel
Can you tell me where I'm going?
Can you tell me where I'm going wrong?

Coming up around the bend is the turnoff to the town
Where you built a life without me
And where you live with your new boyfriend now
Without you by my side, how will I know I'm gonna be alright?

I'm driving up and down the same roads that we used to travel on
But now it's only me your exit has already been and gone
Can you tell me where I'm going?
Can you tell me where I'm going wrong?

Oh the songs we used to sing
The silly games we used to play
The stories that we told, all the little things we used to say
Without you by my side, how will I know I'm gonna be alright?

In the rearview mirror I can see
So clearly in hindsight
How I wound up in a supporting role, in a book I didn't write
But without you by my side, how will I know I'm gonna be alright?

And even though you're not beside me on this road I travel on
At 67 miles an hour, to the horizon and beyond
Can you tell me where I'm going?
Can you tell me where I'm going wrong

And I know you won't believe me, but it's really true
These tears falling down my face, they're not over you
But I just need a sense of purpose, and a place where I belong
So can you tell me where I'm going, where I'm going wrong?

Can you tell me where I'm going? Can you tell me where I'm going wrong?
Can you tell me where I'm going? Can you tell me where I'm going wrong?
