Lyrics

Detour

Because you're real, when life seems a sitcom
Because you're warm, when I can hardly feed my toes
You wake me up, right out of a three-day nap
And push the sunlight right underneath my nose

When I was upside down, you were hanging out beside me
We did cherry flips, like we were little girls
You're all my beautiful beautiful distractions
In an ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly world

I've been happy I've been sad
I've been rich, but too blind to see what all I had
Oh my friend you are the cure
You helped me see the scenery on my last detour

You help me drown, my thoughts when they won't stop screamin'
And you find a way, around every wall I raise
You read my words, when they're flowing out like water
And you hold my hands, though they've been shaking now for days

I've been happy I've been sad
I've been rich, but too blind to see what all I had
Oh my friend you are the cure
You helped me see the scenery on my last detour

Because flyin' with you, helps to keep me grounded
And being crazy with you, helps to keep me sane
Never wonder what you mean to those around you
You're like a front seat ride on a walk home in the rain

I've been happy I've been sad
I've been rich, but too blind to see what all I had
Oh my friend you are the cure
You helped me see the scenery on my last detour
