[Verse 1]
I got a message from a friend
Said, "You've been quiet since the day you let her in
And we'd all love to know just where you went
'Cause, honey, you don't look the same
I barely recognize you with that look on your face"
My God, those words are burned into my brain
[Pre-Chorus]
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
[Chorus]
There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you
[Verse 2]
So when they ask me where I've been
I'll plug the drain and calmly say, "I never left"
And quietly wish we had never met
'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait
No, it comes quick and then it never fades away
And I lost part of me that day
[Pre-Chorus]
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
[Chorus]
There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you

“The Roads” is one of those songs I feel like I’ve been working toward for so long. It’s the culmination of so much heartbreak, so much growing up, and so much learning. Some of my favorite lyrics and sounds I’ve ever created are in this song, and I think the story speaks for itself. I hope you can...
