Two Towns Down

I can’t turn back time to yesterday

I try to leave the past behind

And keep my weary head turned towards the sun

But then some things never seem leave my mind

Tonight I had to take the long way home

This road that takes my by her door

Sometimes the past is not so far away

But this torn heart doesn’t live there any more

Two towns down, there’s a yellow four-room house

That’s where Sarah and I, tried to share our dreams

But we never made it too far

I moved on, but she still calls it home

With another man she’s found

The past can be too close

When it’s (just) two towns down

I keep my distance, I keep moving on

But I just saw her best friend Jane

She told me all the things I wanted to hear

She held back those things she knew would cause me pain

Chorus

Bridge:        Eighteen miles away

                   All the dreams are gone but the heartache seems to stay

                   I turn to face the sun – and another day
