歌词
I drove around this town when
Your letter found my eyes
You chose yourself and said that God told you that it was right
(Did you care)
That I was still your best friend? (Did you think)
I would just be alright? (And you said)
That you were sorry but
You couldn't take it one more night (So take your leave!)
I guess you never
Never knew yourself
What it means to be someone that's not someone else
The future seemed so bright
Now it seems like lies
Just stupid kid
Too dumb to stop trying
Drown out your father's words that
Keep ringing in your ears
There's nothing left to call home
If you fail, then you fail here
I guess you never
Never knew yourself
What it means to be someone that's not someone else
The future seemed so bright
Now it seems like lies
Just stupid kids
Too dumb to stop trying
The weight of all the years of my life
And this moment catches me in stride
'Cause I hope that leaving
Doesn't cost me everything
When does a boy become a man?
Is it when his father tells him he can?
'Cause that door was always shut
But when it's not, it's harder to walk through
I found the road
(I took the road less traveled!)
Beneath my feet
(Was split beneath my feet)
Still it felt like wandering!
The voices in the distance were screaming "Don't you leave!"
The days were filled with wandering, destinations in between
But if it's real, the words we feel and if I write them down!
(Don't you sit there and tell me what you want to do)
Would they find their voice?
Is it escape we found? (How could you?)
How could you make this a simple choice
From an old payphone?
Would you believe (The men we are, the men we hoped to be)
Or will you say (You drove)
You drove those miles for a stupid dream?
