Instead of Moving Forward

I've been wandering

I left home awhile ago

and I'm unsure of where the road will carry me

I feel forever in between

where I've been that doesn't fit

and where everyone says that I'm supposed to be

and I'm just thinking

I don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, I want a highway

all straight lines and predictable signs

I could drive it in my sleep

but I think it's gonna kill me

and I don't know if I'll ever arrive

I'm just fine taking all my time on

overgrown roads that refuse to unwind

'cause I'm going deep instead of moving forward

I've been seeing you

in places that I wasn't trained to look

yet there you are and you're sure beautiful

so I think I will stop and just get lost

with you before I feel the need to prove

that I'm making progress

I don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, I want a highway

all straight lines and predictable signs

I could drive it in my sleep

but I think it's gonna kill me

and I don't know if I'll ever arrive

I'm just fine taking all my time on

overgrown roads that refuse to unwind

'cause I'm going deep instead of moving forward

It's birth and death and birth again

it's joy and grief and all they teach

don't make me rush to some relief

that rescues me from learning

'cause I'm tired of trying

to cross over some finish line

when everything that matters is in front of my eyes

oh I've been traveling in circles for awhile

but the view looks different every time

Oh I don't know if I'm gonna get there and

I don't know if I want a highway

all straight lines and predictable signs

I could drive it in my sleep

but I think it's gonna kill me

and I don't know if I'll ever arrive

I'm just fine taking all my time on

overgrown roads that refuse to unwind

'cause I'm going deep instead of moving forward

I don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, don't know if I

I don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, don't know if I

Don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, I want a highway

all straight lines and predictable signs

I could drive it in my sleep

but I think it's gonna kill me

and I don't know if I'll ever arrive

I'm just fine taking all my time on

overgrown roads that refuse to unwind

'cause I'm going deep instead of moving forward

I don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, don't know if I

I don't know if I'm gonna get there

I don't know if I, don't know if I
