You can take the long road or the wrong road
A shorter path makes for a tougher load
The fastest route is the one most slowed
There are obstacles whichever you go
There doesn’t need to be any smoke screens
We won’t need protection from Marines
Pick up the ball and drop your routines
This nightmare could turn into our dreams
You can meet me down this way
Come on, I really want to play
These are the moments that make up each day
These are the terrors from which we stray
I know I’m not the direction you were leaning
Guest and greetings, always lose meaning
Destiny arrived and is here intervening
The past is yours alone for weaning
Underneath these city lights
There are no wrong or rights
Lovers go to new heights
Kisses come as invites
