hard way home

Singer:brandi carlile

oooh

i sometimes lose my faith in luck

i don't know what i want to be when i grow up

i just count the rain

wearing the floor through the boards again

i wish i could find a soul to steal

i could be the engine

you could be the wheel

when we're driving home

i never have to worry about being alone

oooh

follow my tracks

see all the times i should have turned back

oooh

i wept alone

i know what it means to be on my own

oooh

the things i have known

looks like i'm taking the hard way home

oooh

the seeds i've sown

taking the hard way home

taking the hard way home

i never did learn how to follow the rules

i never was good at sleeping while the moon was full

i just lie and burn

wreck my mind while the planet turns

i sometimes wish i could start again

i'd try and do the right things every now and then

i'd step in line

that's what i would do if i could turn back time

oooh

follow my tracks

see all the times i should have turned back

oooh

i wept alone

i know what it means to be on my own

oooh

the things i have known

looks like i'm taking the hard way home

oooh

the seeds i've sown

taking the hard way home

taking the hard way home

ooooooooooooh

i tell you how i want to live

forget about the take

forget about the give

i want to leave this town

fake my death and never be found

oooh

follow my tracks

see all the times i should have turned back

oooh

i wept alone

i know what it means to be on my own

oooh

the things i have known

looks like i'm taking the hard way home

oooh

the seeds i've sown

taking the hard way home

taking the hard way home

i sometimes lose my faith in luck

i don't know what i want to be when i grow up

i just count the rain

wearing the floor through the boards again

i wish i could find a soul to steal

i could be the engine

you could be the wheel

when we're driving home

i never have to worry about being alone

oooh

the things i have known

looks like i'm taking the hard way home

oooh

the seeds i've sown

taking the hard way home

taking the hard way home

taking the hard way home
