Emery - The Road Beneath My Feet Lyrics
Official




I drove around this town when your letter found my eyes
You chose yourself and said that God told you that it was right
Did you care that I was still your best friend
Did you think I would just be alright
And you said that you were sorry but you couldn't take it one more night
So take your leave
I guess you never, never knew yourself
What it means to be someone else
I'm someone else
The future seemed so bright
Now it seems like lies
Just a stupid kid too dumb to stop trying
Drown out your father's words that keep ringing in your ears
There's nothing left to call home
If you fail then you fail here
I guess you never, never knew yourself
What it means to be someone else
I'm someone else
The future seemed so bright
Now it seems like lies
Just a stupid kid too dumb to stop trying
The weight of all the years of my life and this moment catches me in stride
As I hope that leaving doesn't cost me everything
When does a boy become a man
Is it when his father tells him he can
That door was always shut, but when it's not it's harder to walk through
I found the road beneath my feet, but still it felt like wandering
I took the road less traveled, where it split beneath my feet
The voices in the distance were screaming don't you leave
But I had to leave, I had to know if it was real the words I wrote
Our days are filled with wandering, destinations in between
But if it's real, the words we feel and if I write them down
Don't you sit there and tell me what you want to do
Would they find their voice
Is it escape we've found
How could you make this a simple choice
From an old payphone, would you believe or will you say you drove those miles for a stupid dream
The men we are. The men we hoped to be
You drove those miles for a stupid dream
