Eat Defeat - Shortcuts

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2048846
Late nights and long drives home
Carrying on all alone
People and places change but I just seem to stay the same
And I know it's hard for you to relate to what I've been through
But just know i'm happy and i'm doing what i wanna do

I can't change no matter what you do
I'm just set in my ways but I'm not judging you
I've always been this way
Naive enough to say that I think I'm gonna be ok

When you're taking shortcuts you're just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way round, be lost and never found
You'll get there faster but I'm built to last
Keeping cool while you're burning out

Spent half my life it seems, chasing after all my dreams
You'd think I'd have caught them by now but they keep outrunning me
I can't fake this, it's make or break
If I knew what I know now i'd do it again

I can't change no matter what you do
I'm just set in my ways but I'm not judging you

When you're taking shortcuts you're just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way round, be lost and never found
You'll get there faster but I'm built to last
Keeping cool while you're burning out
And I know there's nothing that i'd rather do
I'd travel days just to waste time with you
And when my body breaks down and my money runs out
At least I'll have something to sing about

You're taking shortcuts

When you're taking shortcuts you're just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way round, be lost and never found
You'll get there faster but I'm built to last
Keeping cool while you're burning out

You're taking shortcuts

We're keeping cool while you're burning out
We're keeping cool while you're burning, but you'll never learn
