I took a ride out on the freeway I took the long way, trying to get home But you know it’s a drive I shouldn’t have to make The road was too long, the path was a song, was too much to take Why did the one side want to dominate Why did the other hide, in plain sight I knew it wasn’t a choice, I didn’t hesitate Just to make it all one, the deed was no fun, to make it all right But I was the only one to see it all from the start Kept it inside, went for the ride Didn’t know why, in my heart You came, and we decided just to put it away and pretend it was a game It wasn’t cool to bend the rule and go to school to learn that life isn’t in your name Now that the nexus is behind me I take no joy in losses made They’re gone but now it’s a whole new world of wonder You know the mind is the key, the happiness free, there’s no one to blame We go along with our conundrums We take the way that hurts the least It’s tough, but what if the way that hurts releases The life we control, the joy in our soul, the path is to peace But I was the only one to see it all from the start Kept it inside, went for the ride Didn’t know why, in my heart You came, and we decided just to put it away and pretend it was a game It wasn’t cool to bend the rule and go to school to learn that life isn’t in your name Lyric for "Stick It In your Ear" from Jennifer's CD "The Real Me" on Sinistral Records - Jennifer September 15, 2006
