Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've been alright up until now
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
But the cue never came and the lights
[Verse 2]
They never went down
So we're passing the time
While time passes us
"The fast lane" is a term never applied to us
Without a dime to my name
Or a prayer in the world
I walk out the door
[Verse 3]
Destination, anywhere but here
Away from you
[Verse 4]
Now I'm on my way to the other side
I'll forget everything I left behind
These empty rooms
Are still filled with you
[Verse 5]
So I dropped out of my own race
A race with no finish line
No first or last place
These faces all rush right past me
[Verse 6]
I turn and walk away
Cause we finally know now what our time here's about
We were not meant to be
Another face in the crowd
[Verse 7]
We're a forest of lives
But we grow tall and wide
We'll never be cut down
[Verse 8]
Destination anywhere but here
Away from you
[Verse 9]
Now I'm on my way to the other side
I'll forget everything I left behind
These empty rooms
Are still filled with you
[Verse 10]
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
And I'm lying in empty beds again
I'll wait for you to come
To your senses, barbed-wire fences
Won't keep me from breakin' through
I swear, I will to you
[Verse 11]
Now I'm on my way to the other side
I'll forget everything I left behind
These empty rooms
Are still filled with you
Are still filled with you
[Verse 12]
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
And I'm lying in empty beds again
Away from you
