the alternate route
i need your voice to help me save the day
its just your smile that helps me trick the night
on my own i understand the world
while the roads twist up and trip me yet again
this time i'll fall for sure
i see you standing in the doorway
a minute can last eternity
so i'll wave to you and slowly turn my head
and walk away
the rain pours down and covers everything
and the fog is thick so i must squint to see
the leaves soon rustle and i think youre by my side
but i turn around to see i'm alone again
all i have is sorrow
life has been so hollow
i just wish you'd follow me all across this world
instead of always taking
this alternate route
and once again i lose my way
waiting for you forever and a day
i've spent my life with you inside my dreams
but in reality youre not quite what you seem
you've taken a different path from me
but i'll still wait for you eternally
is time actually slowing
i guess i'll just keep going
without ever really knowing what sadness lies ahead
i wish you wouldnt take
i wish you wouldnt take
i wish you wouldnt take the alternate route
