Ninety Minutes

I didn't break your heart
You didn't break mine
But something 'bout up north to Nashville, it's quite the drive
I didn't plan to be your type
We didn't get the timing right
Even though I'll miss you,
You'll make the move,
Start your life

I think it's just my luck
To find you at this time
You're packing up your things and leaving me behind
I know you're scared to go
Navigate it all on your own
But in the short time that you were mine,
I knew you'd be fine

I can't hold you back
I know it's pretty selfish
So I'll just help you pack and repeat "it's just ninety minutes"
You're gonna do big things
I'll watch you from the wings
I know you gotta go, but I don't want you to leave

You know I hate to drive
But I'd travel every weekend
Running up the miles on my dash for an hour to spend
And I know we won't make it
I don't want this conversation
If it's time with you, it's time well wasted
Aren't I a risk worth taking?

I can't hold you back
I know it's pretty selfish
So I'll just help you pack and repeat "it's just ninety minutes"
You're gonna do big things
I'll watch you from the wings
I know you gotta go, but I don't want you to leave
What started as a summer fling is coming to a close
You're making the decision, are we gonna make this work?
I hate the ultimatum
And I've never tried long distance
But I can't lose
I can't lose you

So close, you're gonna be so far
Who knows, maybe we're meant to be where we are
Your ghost will pass me by like a shooting star
I'll never forget you, I'll never forget you
So close, you're gonna go so far
Who knows, in five years I might be where you are
We got close, but timing had something else in the cards
I'll never forget you
