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 dont 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 notice you were listening
I didn't know that 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 dont know where im 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
