Nicole Costa - The Road

What's a little more wear on that book you call your life?
What is one less tread on those tires that grow thin?
We built this house out of sand and everything that lasts forever
And knew that with it, we'd be blown 'round by the wind
I'd tell you, "That's no fucking house, that's a sad excuse for a car,"
And you would laugh, because you know I wasn't there
You'd tell me you got folks to save and lots of places left to see
And I'd beg you to take a breath before your lungs ran out of air
And I'd ask, "In the end do you think you made a difference?"
And you'd say, "Hell yeah, but maybe I shouldn't have
'Cause in the end all that is left is hope that maybe we existed
So I will toss my worries back and take the road, the road less travelled,"
You lived your life for other people for so long that they've grown hazy
You didn't realize when your years had passed you by
All those scars that you collected, have they dug into your soul yet?
When your breath stops, are you the reason that you cry?
And I'd ask, "In the end do you think you made a difference?"
And you'd say, "Hell yeah, but maybe I shouldn't have
'Cause in the end all that is left is hope that maybe we existed
So I will toss my worries back and take the road, the road less travelled,"
If there were cameras trained on us, do you think we'd still be fighting?
Or would we realize that we've chased our lives away?
You'd turn to me and smile a smile that fills with aching pains and longing
And you'd say, "Baby, we'd make a damn great show someday,"
And I'd ask, "In the end do you think you made a difference?"
And you'd say, "Hell yeah, but maybe I shouldn't have
'Cause in the end all that is left is hope that maybe we existed
So I will toss my worries back and take the road, the road less travelled,"
So I will lay these bones to rest and take the road, the road less travelled
