I got a message from a friend
Said, "You've been quiet since the day you let her in
And we'd all love to know just where you went
'Cause, honey, you don't look the same
I barely recognize you with that look on your face"
My God, those words are burned into my brain
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you
So when they ask me where I've been
I'll plug the drain and calmly say, "I never left"
And quietly wish we had never met
'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait
No, it comes quick and then it never fades away
And I lost part of me that day
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you
Said, "You've been quiet since the day you let her in
And we'd all love to know just where you went
'Cause, honey, you don't look the same
I barely recognize you with that look on your face"
My God, those words are burned into my brain
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you
So when they ask me where I've been
I'll plug the drain and calmly say, "I never left"
And quietly wish we had never met
'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait
No, it comes quick and then it never fades away
And I lost part of me that day
You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important
There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you

I was thinking Cage the Elephant, especially the beginning and chorus.
Probably gonna end up liking this....

This reminds me of The Milk Carton Kids, and I like it!
Yay, more new music!
Thank you!

Thank you!
Sounds remarkably like Hey Rosetta to my east coast ears .
A pleasant enough little ditty.
Thank you Bill.
Thank you Bill.

I was just coming to see if anyone else thought so. But I’m liking this more than I like any of Kahan’s songs.
