This two lane road will only get me so far

But it won't take me to where you are
The road won't lead the speaker to the desired destination where the person addressed is located.
Haven't seen your face in awhile
Expresses the absence of seeing the person for a significant period.
but how can I forget that smile
Despite the time apart, the memory of the person's smile is unforgettable.
I wanna hear you

I wanna hold you

To get you back into my life so I can be with you again

This whiskey bottle can't take away the pain but it

Seems to drown the echo callin' out your name
