Backgrounds And Longways

Justin McRoberts


Lately, I've been taking the backroads and longways 
Baby, to the places I found you before 
I know it was over a long time before now 
I'm just hoping you didn't let go 

Some days I just wander around in our memories 
Some days I can't stand to be near where you've been 
Both ways I am always aware of your presence 
And I'm hoping you'll let me back in 

I'm just better with you than I ever could be on my own 
I'm just better with you as my family, my shelter, my home 

So now, as I stand in your doorway debating 
Should I let you know that I'm back or sit still 
Waiting for your kindness, your sweetness, your mercy 
Bridge the gap between my pride and my will 

May I breathe your breath 
May I drink your words like wine 
May I draw you near 
And even call you mine
