don t take me don t take me down all these forgotten roads don t take me don t take me down all these forgotten roads cause i ve been fighting to define where our motions will lead oh beneath the surface of it all as we strive to believe oh just a few simple words out loud is all it takes ain t no use in returning now to old mistakes we re wide awake but save it for the morning our eyes are open but we don t see clearly for all the elements of doubt that stand in our way oh recollections that we hold so dearly we ll try to salvage as it all starts falling away oh just a few simple words out loud is all it takes ain t no use in returning now to old mistakes we re wide awake but save it for the morning don t take me don t take me down all these forgotten roads don t take me don t take me down all these forgotten roads
