I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin' at the speed of a light
I can't slow down now
Out on an open road
Racin' to beat the night
No matter where I'm goin'
I guess I'll get there alright

So why don't I understand
What's trippin' me up
It oughta be a simple thing

I can't hold on
And I can't return
It's time to let go
And start to live and learn

I took a one-way flight
Too high to see the ground
Now I know how long it takes
A heart to come down
Alone on the highway now
Takin' it mile by mile
I'd rather be a lonely man
Than an imprisoned child

So 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
I can't say just how
I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back now

Ooh
So why don't I understand
What's trippin' me up
Well it oughta be a simple thing

Ooh
I can't hold on
And I can't return
Rivers will run
Bridges will burn
I can't say just how
I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back now

Oh
I won't slow down
And I can't return
As night will turn to dawn
The pages will burn
I can't say just how
I can't say just how
But there's no lookin' back now

No lookin' back
But no lookin' back now
No, no
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
Wuw
No lookin' back now
Oh, but no lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
