about

This song was written for Lee's wife, Dawn Iwanowski. It contains a faux-reprise of an older song that Lee never got to record because Dawn thought it sounded too much like a 70s Sitcom theme song. The main song is meant to be a kind of Fleetwood Mac vamp, because of a dream Lee had when he wrote it in his sleep.

lyrics

There are many roads to choose from in this life
There's a road for every dream you've ever had
And it's not these many roads you lose your soul upon
It's the road you feared to tread that drives you mad.

You may think you have the answers to all the questions
You can plan the whole thing out and not arrive
Even if you tuck the world into your pocket
You may never find a place to feel alive.

CHORUS:
All this time
There's been nothing better than to be with you
And the way (we hide from one another and still get through)
We cover all the miles between the two
As the days
Flash by with the things that are not true (leave you blue)
After all this time
There is nothing more for me than you.

BRIDGE:
You can climb too many mountains and never really feel high
You can reach the top but lose the urge to fly
You can sail around the world to find you've lost your way
You can find your way home, but can you stay?

[CHORUS]

There are many things that happen on the road to love
Get hurt and hooked and burned out of your mind
So the question isn't 'where would I be without you'
But is there anything this good that's left to find?
There is nothing else I haven't left behind.

[CHORUS]

We... go places together
Hand in hand together in all kinds of weather
We... support one another
Always offering good advice to each other
We... share everything
The whole world comes around to help us sing.

There are many roads to choose from in this life.
