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
