The Roads You Can Take Lyrics

We drove through the rain

past the evergreen trees

and we rolled
just like the water

along the veins of its leaves

and we traced our
memories

into the shape of a map

inside the palms of our hands

bearing the secrets unkept



and i dont think i could ever feel
this way again

you should be an actress because your so good at lying

you bring my to my feet and then you leave me here crying

if the
feelings are gone, then what am i left with



its true that we're
young

but love is said to be ageless

the same is said of pain and
desire and depression

would it make it easier if i made you hate me

i only wanna see you happy

i only wanna see you smile



ill
take these pills and shove em down my throat to keep the words "i love you"
from escaping my lips

to keep me sleeping and keep me quiet, still

"i love you" is the only thing i know for sure

if its time you need my
love, ill give it to you



ill give you my love if you say that its
time

ill tear down the walls youve built up in our lives

as the
barrier breaks between your heart and mine

you would die to forget, but i
will live to remind you
