Scenic Route - 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

But 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

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
