The Paths We Take

We've set out on our proper paths

But don't know just where they'll lead

Or if they'll run alongside one another

As we travel for respective needs

Oh rivers stray from kin

And struggle to hold shape

But meet the same oceans end

After snow and dirt and rain

All I know for sure

Is I'll miss you on the way

And there's so much in my heart of hearts

That for now I must not say

But if after we discover ourselves

Our compasses pull close

And our separate ways are through

I'll be looking to join my way with you

In terms of sheer agony

Heartbreak is second only to death

But the end of life is absolute

The former stings the poison of regret

Our urge to talk and understand

Is an antidote distilled by our hands

I reckon if we're good at this hard shit

Another go at love is not to be missed

Well all I know for sure

Is I'll miss you on the way

And there's so much in my heart of hearts

That for now I must not say

But if after we discover ourselves

Our compasses pull close

And our separate ways are through

I'll be looking to join my way with you

I'll sing my lungs out so you can hear

I'll sing my heart out wishing you were here

Follow my voice if you are near

Let's end up better off together my dear

I promise that I've got your back

But I won't be at it

The phases that we go through

I don't think that they'll phase you out

Whatever we have down the line

Won't be what was first in mind

But I've said my piece, now I'll hope for peace

You'll linger in the back of my mind

Well all I know for sure

Is I'll miss you on the way

And there's so much in my heart of hearts

That for now I must not say

But if after we discover ourselves

Our compasses pull close

And our separate ways are through

I'll be looking to join my way with you
