Paths

If God really listens Like your mom says he does Then he better be saving you For our future kids and dogs I thought we'd be married Two pillars firm and proud But real love is a verb I get it now My youth is in your past You'll always have that And though it didn't last I hope our paths cross again If time heals all It's a lousy doctor Or a half-baked thought Cause I still can't block you I came upon family And thought I was stifled Thought my freedom endangered I was just young and entitled And you taught me a lot Stretched and wrung and tossed I'm sorry we got lost I hope our paths cross again We'll love others We'll drift apart But every time I sing a song You won't be very far The future's ours to write The songs, the scars, the life I'll catch up with you some other time When our paths cross again Cross again
