lyrics

I’ve been struggling to find the right roads to take all my life
I detour to the left, then I detour to the right
I travel on for miles thinking I finally got it right
Then I have to double back when I realise
And on the journey back I take another detour
I’m even struggling to find the place I started from
But there’s plenty more roads to choose from
So on I go

I’ve topped up on my fuel and now I’m heading for the shore
To get my fix of salty air to keep my lungs pure
I pull up at the beach but I can’t get out the door
I think I wreaked it when I kicked it in the night before
So I wind the window down and breathe as deep as I can
Convince myself I’m satisfied and hit the road again
But I’m still struggling to find them roads
‘Cause the only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin

I keep on burning fuel while I’m burning daylight
Make a little pit stop, pick up the love of my life
I always did get further with her by my side
I told her, buckle up, might be a bumpy ride
We made a little headway in the middle of the night
But I think I turned left again, I should have turned right
I warned her long ago about these roads
I said, the only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin
Yeah, the only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin
The roads to ruin

The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin
Only roads I’ve known are these roads
The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin

The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin
Only roads I’ve known are these roads
The only roads I’ve ever known are the roads to ruin
