If You Only Knew Where I’m Heading

(Verse 1)

Every night I drive on home,

But I take the long way round.

Pass your street like I ain’t tryin’,

Heart beatin’ way too loud.

Your window glows that soft gold light,

Makes me slow my speed…

Wishing I had the guts to tell you

What you really do to me.

(Pre-Chorus)

’Cause you say, “Sleep good, get rest,”

With that smile that knocks me flat…

And I swear if you knew what that did to me,

You wouldn’t say it quite like that.

(Chorus)

Oh, if you only knew where I’m heading,

You’d know I’m wishing it was your bed I’m getting.

Your quiet laugh, that half-turned grin—

Girl, I want to be the one you let in.

Ain’t saying the words, but you feel the heat—

I’m just prayin’ you hear what I don’t dare speak.

Baby, if you only knew where I’m heading…

It’s you. Every night.

⸻

(Verse 2)

I picture you kickin’ off your shoes,

Hair falling out just a bit…

You’d probably laugh if you knew the things

My mind does when I think of it.

Nothing wrong, nothing dirty—

But it’s dangerous just the same…

How one touch from you, unspoken,

Can set my whole world aflame.

(Pre-Chorus)

And when you say, “Drive safe, text me,”

I feel that hit below the ribs…

’Cause girl, if you meant half of what I hear,

You’d know how deep this goes—no fibs.

(Chorus)

Oh, if you only knew where I’m heading,

How your voice is the road I keep forgetting.

Every goodbye leaves a spark in the air,

Enough to burn down every fear I wear.

Ain’t crossing a line, but it’s getting thin—

I’m just waitin’ on the courage to begin.

Baby, if you only knew where I’m heading…

It’s you. Always you.

⸻

(Bridge)

One day I’ll knock on your door

Instead of passing by…

And you’ll see everything I never said

Written clear in my eyes.

⸻

(Final Chorus)

Oh, if you only knew where I’m heading,

You’d know it’s your heartbeat my own keeps chasing.

Keepin’ it clean, but Lord, it’s a fight—

Pretending I don’t want your arms tonight.

I’m inches from tellin’ you everything—

Just need one more push, one more swing.

Baby, if you only knew where I’m heading…

It’s you. Every damn night.
