And it's a long road to redemption
Back to the life I've left in disrepair
It's a long hard climb
Till your lips meet mine
But I swear, sweet darling, I'll get there

Oh it's a far cry to forgiveness
So much in this world to set square
Lots of voices too many
Till I hold you once again
But I swear, sweet darling, I'll get there

My highway of regrets rambles on
As far as the eye can see
So I ain't asking you to extend
Any undeserved kindness
'Cause I got what's coming to me

Oh, it's a blind eye to reunions
Might be that it leads to nowhere
It's a leap in the dark from here to your heart
Whoa, I swear, sweet darling I'll get there
Oh yeah, I swear, sweet darling I'll get there
