lyrics

Caught down by the road
Where the fork splits and explodes
And you carry your load
You hold on for a while

And I think you know more than you think you do
'Cause I see, I see, I see, I see you
And I can tell something's bothering you
'Cause I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel for you

Brought up by your folks
They tell you stories of roads
They tell you which path to go
They raise you for a while

And you leave their rule
To a post-secondary school
You practice different rituals
You think more for a while

Then you return home
They ask you which way you'd go
You say you'd try every road
You don't speak for a while

So the story goes
The start of a broken home
Where she would split, and he, explode
You don't come for a while

So the story goes...
On and on...
