Taking Back Roads

We take directions for faces we don't see

The world is beneath us and we both know this isn't forever

So we keep our guards up

There's noone to trust here, so we move on

This is a lesson, I'll take the interstate

We both know there's a simpler state of mind, that waits for us in time

This is the last time I'll make the same mistake

Which way's back?

I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time

The tables are turning but no one is listening,

And if we are smart then we'll move fast

Cause we are all driving, we're all moving quickly

We're trying to slow down before things go too far

This is the last time I'll take the interstate

We both know there's a simpler state of mind, that waits for us in time

This is the last time I'll make the same mistake

Which way's back?

I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time

Taking back roads, to where God only knows

We take our time and get there when we can

We're taking back roads, to where God only knows

Write this down so we don't forget

And this is the last time I'll take the interstate

And we both know there's a simpler state of mind, in time

And this is the last time I'll make the same mistake

Which way's back?

I've been miles without the sign that waits for us in time
