"Route 44" lyrics

Route 44 you say it's a sign
That maybe that road was best left behind
Something overdue arrived right on time

My baby, she loves me and I know why
We got something that money can't buy
Quick to forgive and long to arrive
You handed me wings, you told me to fly

This time around I don't mind the silence
This time around I cannot fight it
Maybe I'm bound maybe there's no other way around it
Someone's looking out on the other side

Route 44 I swear it's a crime
Smile you're wild, a child denied
Caught the last week of 1999

Is it stupid?
Is it selfish
That you take me somewhere else
When I'm right where I've always been

Is it human
Is it helpless
On winters day got me melting
Never know what lies up ahead

This time around I don't mind the silence
This time around I cannot fight it
Maybe I'm bound maybe there's no other way around it
Someone's looking out on the other side

I'm out of my head these days...
Afraid there's no other way
I told you I'm here to stay
Route 44, I'll be on my way
