Lyrics

Headlights on an empty highway
Wind cuts through this old regret
I’ve been running from the man I was
But he’s riding in the passenger seat yet
I think about my brother’s laughter
How I should’ve been around
Now it’s just a ghost beside me
Every mile, every town

[PRE-CHORUS]
And I keep telling myself
You can’t change what’s already gone
But the road don’t let you lie
When you’re driving this long

[CHORUS]
Too many memories, too many mistakes
Too many nights I wish I could take back
Too many bridges burned down to the stakes
Too many hearts I broke on my own track
I can’t fix the past, can’t rewrite the ache
So I drive ’til the dawn just to stay awake
Too many memories, too many mistakes

[VERSE 2]
Old friends I should’ve held onto
Old flames I pushed away
Jealous kid with a short fuse
Didn’t know the price I’d pay
Now I’m older but I’m not wiser
Just a man who knows the cost
Of every word I shouldn’t have said
And every good thing I lost

[PRE-CHORUS]
And I keep telling myself
You can’t go back and make it right
But the truth hits harder
When it’s just you and the night

[CHORUS]
Too many memories, too many mistakes
Too many nights I wish I could take back
Too many bridges burned down to the stakes
Too many hearts I broke on my own track
I can’t fix the past, can’t rewrite the ache
So I drive ’til the dawn just to stay awake
Too many memories, too many mistakes

[BRIDGE]
If I could turn this wheel around
And find the man I used to be
I’d tell him love ain’t something
You can hold with jealousy
I’d tell him call your brother
Don’t wait for someday soon
But someday never comes
And now I’m singing to the moon

[FINAL CHORUS]
Too many memories, too many mistakes
But the road keeps moving, and so do I
I can’t change the past, can’t undo the breaks
But I can chase the sunrise across the sky
I’ll carry the weight, whatever it takes
Too many memories, too many mistakes
