[Verse 1]
Well, she could be like a song
The kind, that with time, always comes back on
But something tells me she's gone
There's no chords, there's no rhymes, there's no singing along

[Pre-Chorus]
I pushed her just a little too far for a little too long
It's a little too late for me to keep her from

[Chorus]
Highways and byways that'll take her anywhere but my way
There's so many ways she could say goodbye
Railways and runways, from the way she was looking, I'm afraid that
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time

[Verse 2]
Well, she was like my guitar
Always waiting around just to be in my arms
But you can't play with a heart
Should've never have left her alone in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't see it back then, ah, but look at her now
You can't pick it back up once it's headed down
[Chorus]
Highways and byways that'll take her anywhere but my way
There's so many ways she could say goodbye
Railways and runways, from the way she was looking, I'm afraid that
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I pushed her just a little too far for a little too long
And gave her little choice but to get on

[Chorus]
Highways and byways that'll take her anywhere but my way
There's so many ways she could say goodbye
Railways and runways, from the way she was looking, I'm afraid that
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time

[Outro]
Whatever the way, it's gonna be one way this time
