That Trip Out West

We never took that trip out West And I don't know why; I guess it's for the best Dropped some things off at your mom's She seemed sad to see me; I didn't stay long The summer ended and I drove North Couldn't take the empty house anymore Thought I would visit a few of the places That you and I had been, but I couldn't face it Just drove with the windows down Days went by and it felt like I was drowning We never took that trip out West And I don't know why; I guess it's for the best We never took that trip out West And I don't know why; I guess it's for the best It's not that I want to forget It's just that I don't know how I can live with these regrets I keep thinking I hear your voice Try to understand but it just gets lost in the noise Remember how you used to say "We can't be lost as long as we both go the same way" But I've never been as lost as this I don't know where you are and I don't think that I can do this We never took that trip out West And I don't know why; I guess it's for the best We never took that trip out West And I don't know why; I guess it's for the best 'Cause someday I'll drive out to the coast Scatter your ashes, say goodbye to your ghost We never took that trip out West And I swear that we will, but I'm not ready yet I'm not ready yet I'm not ready yet We never took that trip out West
