Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You packed your things in that beat-up Jeep
Sunset fading on a goodbye street
You said, “Take care now, don’t wait on me”
And I just nodded like I understood
But I ain’t where I should be
Not yet the man I know I could
[Chorus]
So Godspeed, but not too fast
Leave a little trail, don’t disappear that fast
If you hit the coast, don’t burn past the past
Leave the window cracked on what we had
You deserve a love that’s built to last
And I’m workin’ on becoming that
So Godspeed, girl... but not too fast
[Verse 2]
I’ve been layin’ low, been showin’ up
To the mirror, to the gym, tryin’ to earn my luck
Fixin’ up the mess I made, piece by piece
And every mile you’re further down the line
I’m chasing down a better me
Tryin’ to make up for lost time
[Chorus]
So Godspeed, but not too fast
Leave a little trail, don’t disappear that fast
If you hit the coast, don’t burn past the past
Leave the window cracked on what we had
You deserve a love that’s built to last
And I’m workin’ on becoming that
So Godspeed, girl... but not too fast
[Bridge]
If fate don’t bring you back around
I’ll still be proud you found your ground
But if there’s a chance, a second start
I’ll meet you there with a brand-new heart
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, Godspeed, but not too fast
Keep me in your rearview just in case I catch
A glimpse of hope between the cracks
Of what we lost and what might come back
You deserve a love that’s built to last
And I’m workin’ on becoming that
So Godspeed, girl... but not too fast
