The Safe Side of the Road

The Safe Side of the Road

Chances we've taken
have taken their toll
Damaged, weary,
unwilling to pay
And as my heart and my soul couldn't carry the load,
it was better to say that it's better to stay
on the safe side of the road

And if life is a game, we've lost in our pain
far too often to just let it go
We're lost in our pain as we've lost in a game
where even the victors are hurting
for all I know

But I still wanna play, I still wanna play
But it's probably better to play
on the safe side of the road

For we've cried and we've lost
our loved ones who've crossed
They tried to cross that street so long ago
And I can still remember when we had to pray
We prayed for both them and ourselves
from the safe side of the road

But I'd rather be lost. If death is the cost,
I think I better cross before I grow too old
I don't wanna stay
if I've gotta stay this way
I don't really wanna stay on the safe side of the road

I don't really wanna stay on the safe side of the road.
