Lyrics
Seven Years
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've got the keys in my hand
And I'm not just talking
I'll take to the road
And I won't stop driving
Until I've put a thousand miles
Between you and me
You don't think that I'll do it
But you don't really know for sure
And neither do I
That's why I've got to try
Seven years is not the kind of time
You can just leave behind
Memories linger and
Mistakes come clear
Seven years is not the kind of time
You can just leave behind
Even with that distance
I still feel near to you
Standing at pump number three
I watch the numbers fly by
And the dollars become hours
Since I left without goodbyes
I was always the coward
Could never stand a scene
And now I got what I wanted
And I'm running away again
Seven years is not the kind of time
You can just leave behind
Memories linger and
Mistakes come clear
Seven years is not the kind of time
You can just leave behind
Even with that distance
I still feel near to you
No matter how far I go
I can never get away
And I'm just kidding myself
If I think that I can
Even in the worst time
You were just a thought away
Well some things never change
Seven years is not the kind of time
You can just leave behind
Memories linger and
Mistakes come clear
Seven years is not the kind of time
You can just leave behind
Even with that distance
I still feel near to you
