Million Things Different
Redemption Roads: A Symphony of Regret by Zakk Ellis
Lyrics
I've been thinking, I've been thinking about us
I've been reflecting on our relationship
All the ways that I've broken your trust
Regretting the ways I've betrayed your trust
You watched me turn to dust
You witnessed my downfall
Again
This has happened before
I should've burned that road to Mexico
I should have avoided the path to Mexico
Set those bridges up in smoke
Destroyed the connections, left no bridges
Made my way there to the coast
Headed to the coast where you were
Where you were living
Your location at the time
I should've done
I should have taken alternative actions
A million things different
Many things should have been different
I was drinking, I was drinking too much
I was excessively drinking
Honky-Tonk playing till the sun came up
Listening to Honky-Tonk until sunrise
Just one touch, a foolish rush
A single touch, a hasty act of wrongdoing
Of sin
An action driven by sin
I was sinking, I was sinking real deep
I was descending into deep trouble
You were there praying on your knees
You were praying while I was envious of
So why was I jealous of
The wind
The wind
My misplaced jealousy
I should've burned that road to Mexico
I should have avoided the path to Mexico
Set those bridges up in smoke
Destroyed the connections, left no bridges
Made my way there to the coast
Headed to the coast where you were
Where you were living
Your location at the time
I should've called you once a thousand times
I should have called you numerous times
Said, say the word and I will drive
Offered to drive from Telluride
All the way from Telluride
To be with you immediately
This minute
Without delay
I should've done
I should have taken alternative actions
A million things different
Many things should have been different
I've ran away
I've often escaped
My whole life
Throughout my entire life
But I'm not afraid
But now I'm not fearful
Not this time
Especially not this time
I should've burned that road to Mexico
I should have avoided the path to Mexico
Set those bridges up in smoke
Destroyed the connections, left no bridges
Made my way there to the coast
Headed to the coast where you were
Where you were living
Your location at the time
I should've called you once a thousand times
I should have called you numerous times
Said, say the word and I will drive
Offered to drive from Telluride
All the way from Telluride
To be with you immediately
This minute
Without delay
I should've done
I should have taken alternative actions
A million things different
Many things should have been different
