Lyrics
all roads will lead to the heart of town
All paths lead to the heart of town.
when you've been running too long
When you've been running for a long time.
being at peace only slows you down
Being at peace slows you down.
but you've been running so long now
Despite that, you've been running for an extended period.
some folks are born who can taste their days
Some individuals can savor their days.
but you can't stop once begun
But once you start, you can't stop.
love plants those seeds and they pass away
Love plants seeds, and they eventually fade away.
why you can't keep just one?

and you can look inside your head and find its loose

if you lose again its gonna
If you lose again, it will have consequences.
take its toll and leave you left to choose
Experiencing the toll of losses, faced with choices.
some folks are born who can taste their days
Some can enjoy their days, but the singer looks forward to passing away.
me I can't wait to pass away
