You left your coffee cooling by the bed

A motel key and nothing else

you said Your old blue jacket hanging by the door

Like maybe you were coming back for more

I saw the sunrise burning on your phone

Some California number I don't know

You always get that look before you leave

Like every highway's got something you need

You're westbound again

Chasing that sun

Rolling past the places we were from

I could ask you to stay

But I know how it ends

You love me till the highway bends

You're halfway gone Before goodbye

Dust on the wheels Gold in the sky

I used to think that I could make you land

But you're westbound again

You said you'd settle somewhere by the spring

Buy a little house and fix everything

But every time those white lines start to move

You find another reason not to choose

Now there's an empty glass beside my chair

Your favorite station playing everywhere

Funny how a song can sound the same

And still make everything feel changed

You're westbound again

Chasing that sun

Rolling past the places we were from

I could ask you to stay

But I know how it ends

You love me till the highway bends

You're halfway gone Before goodbye

Dust on the wheels Gold in the sky

I used to think that I could make you land

But you're westbound again

Maybe it ain't me

Maybe it's the road

Maybe some hearts weren't made for coming home

So when Arizona disappears behind

I won't be waiting by that county line

Go westbound again

Chase down that sun

Keep on running where the wild roads run

I won't ask you to stay

Now I understand

Some hearts were never made to land

You're halfway gone And that's alright

Red taillights fading into night

This time I won't reach out my hand

When you're westbound again
