Lyrics

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
But I don't 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
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 don't know where I'm 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 notice you were listening
I didn't know that you were listening
Out with the ancients
Out with the fools
Out with the demons that haunt you
I will keep driving
I've been surviving
I told you I love like 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
