The Road Beneath My Feet

Lyrics for The Road Beneath My Feet

I drove around this town when Your letter found my eyes You chose yourself and said that God told you that it was right That I was still your best friend I would just be alright And you said that you were sorry But you couldn't take it one more night So take your leave I guess you never Never knew yourself What it means to be someone else I'm someone else The future seemed so bright Now it seems like lies Just a stupid kid too dumb to stop trying Drown out your father's words that Keep ringing in your ears There's nothing left to call home If you fail then you fail here I guess you never Never knew yourself What it means to be someone else I'm someone else The future seemed so bright Now it seems like lies Just a stupid kid too dumb to stop trying The weight of all the years of my life And this moment catches me in stride 'Cause I hope that leaving Doesn't cost me everything When does a boy become a man? Is it when his father tells him he can? 'Cause that door was always shut But when it's not it's harder to walk through I took the road less traveled where it split beneath my feet The voices in the distance were screaming, "Don't you leave" Our days are filled with wandering, destinations in between But if it's real, the words we feel and if I write them down (Don't you sit there and tell me) would they find their voice? (What you want to do) is it escape we found? (How could you) how could you make this a simple choice? From an old payphone (The men we are) would you believe? (The men we hoped to be, you drove) or will you say You drove those miles for a stupid dream?
