Jars Of Clay - The Scenic Route lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Don't turn your back on me<br>

Or read in between my words<br>

I'm trying to drag this out<br>

Taking the scenic route<br>

<br>

I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to<br>

But that isn't what you and I came here to do<br>

<br>

No nails to untie the knots<br>

No veins left to take the shots<br>

No touch to end a fight<br>

Or letting who's wrong be right<br>

<br>

We're just sitting like novels we've picked up but never read through<br>

You think you know my ending, I think I know yours, too<br>

You see, nowhere in these old conversations is there anything new<br>

<br>

Even though we know the sun will rise<br>

Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise<br>

<br>

Baby, leave it all behind<br>

Baby, leave it all behind<br>

Missed a road sign<br>

I don't want to get home soon<br>

Drive the car all the way around the moon<br>

Baby, we could get lost<br>

We have another state to cross<br>

We could find each other out<br>

Tell our secrets on the scenic route<br>

I don't want to get home soon<br>

Drive the car around the moon<br>

I don't want to crush you or rush you<br>

I'm not going faster if you want to and if you want to<br>

I don't want to rush you or crush you<br>

But I won't go faster if you want to<br>

It's not what we came here to do<br>

I just want to drive<br>

I just want to drive<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
