A Better Road

Once I thought that I had found
a life that would not bring me down
I wasn’t looking for my next escape
I thought something real was taking shape

I thought that we’d spend our lives together,
and learn to make our way
That we could make a path, that we could find our place
We were searching a better road, in a better time
And we were dreaming of your garden,
underneath a clear blue sky

After all of the mistakes I made
I thought that I had finally learned
sometimes it’s better just to walk away
Not every corner can be turned

But you know that I spent all my heart,
trying to get this far
and I’d still go the distance,
if I could only see your star
I wish there was a better road,
and wish I could’ve found my way
to meet you in your garden, on that clear blue day

But you know that I spent all my heart,
trying to get this far
and I’d still go the distance,
if I could only see your star
I wish there was a better road,
and wish I could’ve found my way
to meet you in your garden, on that clear blue day
