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
