Scenic Route Lyrics - The Long Fall Back To Earth - Jars Of Clay

Don't turn your back on me 

Or read in between my words 

I'm trying to drag this out 

Taking the scenic route 

I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to 

That isn't what you and I came here to do 

No nails to untie the knots 

No veins left to take the shots 

No touch to end a fight 

Or letting who's wrong be right 

We're just sitting like novels 

We've picked up but never read through 

You think you know my ending, I think I know yours too 

You see, nowhere in these old conversations 

Is there anything new 

Even though we know the sun will rise, yeah 

Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise 

Baby, leave it all behind 

Baby, leave it all behind, missed a road sign 

I don't want to get home soon 

Drive the car all the way around the moon 

Baby, we could get lost 

We have another state to cross 

We could find each other out 

Tell our secrets on the scenic route 

I don't want to get home soon 

Drive the car around the moon 

I don't want to crush you or rush you 

I'm not going faster if you want to and if you want to 

I don't want to rush you or crush you 

But I won't go faster if you want to 

It's not what we came here to do 

I just want to drive 

I just want to drive 

Yeah, yeah, yeah
