DRH.036 - We're Just Sitting Like Novels We've Picked Up But Never Read Through

[Yesspaz]

Just thought I'd share this one.



"Scenic Route" by Jars of Clay

Don't turn your back on me,
Or read in between my words.
I'm trying to drag this out
Taking the scenic route.

I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to,
But that isn't what you and I came here to do.

No nails to untie the knots.
No veins left to take the shots.
No touch to end a fight,
Or letting who's wrong be right.

We're just sitting like novels we've picked up but never read through.
You think you know my ending; I think I know yours too.
You see, nowhere in these old conversations is there anything new.

Even though we know the sun will rise,
Every ray of light still takes us by surprise.

Baby, leave it all behind.
Baby, leave it all behind.
Missed a road sign.
I don't want to get home soon.
Drive the car all the way around the moon.
Baby, we could get lost.
We have another state to cross.
We could find each other out -
Tell our secrets on the scenic route.
I don't want to get home soon.
Drive the car around the moon.
I don't want to crush you or rush you.
I'm not going faster if you want to, and if you want to.
I don't want to rush you or crush you,
But I won't go faster if you want to;
It's not what we came here to do.
I just want to drive.
I just want to drive.
