Backroads

Taking and leaving

Getting and giving

Wasting and wanting it so bad

I feel like flying

But I'm scared of dying

So I'll make my way there on my own

I'm always packing clothes

And I take the backroads

Waking and dreaming

Faking and meaning

Believing and needing it so bad

I don't like crying

But I'll be lying if

I told you that I slept like a stone

When I'm on the phone I was so far from home

But I could finally see the stars

I didn't know what I was missing

Never thought I would make it this far

I didn't know that you were listening

I didn't notice you were listening

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh ooooh

After the blazes

After the crazy

After the crackles of old life

Well I feel like dying

To hell with trying

I'll see myself out on my own

I don't know where I'm going

But I'll take the backroads

And I can finally see the stars

I didn't know what I was missing

I never thought that I would make it this far

I didn't notice you were listening

I didn't know that you were listening

I didn't know that you were listening

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh ooooh

Out with the ancients

Out with the fools

Out with the demons that haunt you

Yeah I will keep driving

I've been surviving

I told you I love liek a stone

Like a stone

Until I find a home

I'll take the backroads

I'll take the backroads

I'll take the backroads

I'll take the backroads
