Many Roads (Counting Stars Album Version)

If you'll step inside this great glass elevator

It'll take us up above the city lights

To where the planet curves away to the equator

I wanna show you something fine

You can see the roads that we all traveled just to get here

A million minuscule decisions in a line

Why they brought us to this moment isn't clear

But that's all right, we've got all night

Could it be that the many roads

You took to get here

Were just for me to tell this story

And for you to hear this song

And your many hopes

And your many fears

Were meant to bring you here all along

So If you'll trust me with your time I'll spend it wisely

And I will sing to you with all I have to give

If you traveled all this way, then I will do my best to play

My biggest hits That don't exist

And if you'll lend to me your ear I'll sing 'em pretty

I will never, ever sing 'em out of tune

And I will not forget the words, of any chorus, bridge, or verse

I promise you

'Cause it could be that the many roads

You took to get here

Were just for me to tell this story

And for you to hear this song

And your many hopes

And your many fears

Were meant to bring you here all along

We've got Benjamin to play that old piano

If we're lucky it's a little out of tune

We've got Andy on the guitar 'cause I promised him

Some Texas barbecue

How I love to watch you listen to the music

'Cause you sing to me a music of your own

As I cast out all these lines, so afraid that I will find

I am alone, all alone

Could it be that the many roads

I took to get here

Were just for me to hear that story

And for you to sing that song

And my many hopes

And my many fears

Were meant to bring me here all along

We were meant to be right here all along
