I'll take the alleyway today
No need for streets
They just compete with other people

Walking side by side on sidewalks
With their clocks all ticking simultaneously


That's where i'll be
Stick to the alleyway with me


There is a way
Another way to go and i'll take it
A secret way

Some people know about but know one ever sees

You will find it if your heart is open

And i'm hoping it will lead you straight to me

Fast or slow

Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way


I'll take the train tracks there
The ones that run behind the houses down on pine street

Traveling side by side like lovers
Never crossing one another so to speak


And i would walk these tracks forever
Even if the weather doesn't change in weeks


And though we were deserving long ago it doesn't hurt to notice i'm free

Fast or slow

Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way


Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts and side roads

Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way
