For all the life I've yet to live

There's a little I understand

It's hard to keep everything I've learned

From slippin' through my hands

Don't wanna trace the lines I'm living

'Cause it's so hard to color them in

Think I need a new beginning

I wanna do it all again

'Cause sometimes you gotta take the long road

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow

Sometimes you lead, and sometimes you have to follow

Sometimes it's best not to know

Which way to go

This tug-of-war is so much more than I hoped for

But still a lesson I need

You only get so many chances

To find who you're gonna be

'Cause sometimes you gotta take the long road

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow

Sometimes you lead, sometimes you have to follow

Sometimes it's best not to know

Which way to go

What I want and what I need are seldom the same

Can I have both anyway?

'Cause sometimes you gotta take the long road

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow

Sometimes you lead, and sometimes you have to follow

Sometimes it's best not to know

Which way to go

Which way to go
