The Road
Elan Lyrics

Before you go
Before you leave or move on to something new.

There are some things I should tell you
I have some important advice to give you.

And prepare you for what you might have not seen
I want to make sure you're ready for the unexpected.

In the dreams you've had about this crazy world
In your imagination, everything may seem different or idealized than it really is.

Stay out of trouble
Avoid getting into dangerous or risky situations.

Keep your eyes wide open
Be observant and aware of your surroundings.

For a different scene
Be open to new experiences and different perspectives.

And who you might meet
You never know who you might come across and how they may impact your life.

Love the road you're traveling on
Enjoy the journey and appreciate where you are right now.

And believe not
Don't assume that everything will always be clear or easy.

That everything is clear when it's all gone
Sometimes it's only when you lose something that you realize its true value or meaning.

And if there's one thing
If there's anything that you're certain about.

You're sure you wanna lave behind
You don't want to regret losing or forgetting this.

Let it not be the memory
Don't let it be the memory specifically.

Of you and me
Of our relationship or time together.

And if there's one thing
If there's anything that you're certain about.

Let it be the time
Make sure you cherish the time you spent doing something or with someone.

You spent with me
Specifically, the time we spent together.

Take it slow
Don't rush or try to force things to happen too quickly.

Something might come and lift you from your feet
Something unexpected or exciting may happen that you never saw coming.

And if you think you know
If you're confident or feel like you have it all figured out.

Then it's time to let life show you
Be open to learning and experiencing new things, even if they challenge your assumptions or beliefs.

Was this the road you were looking for
Is this the path or direction in life that you really wanted to take.

And have you finally seen it all
Do you feel like you've experienced everything there is to see or learn on this journey.

The crowded streets
The busy and bustling city atmosphere.

The looser straks
The less desirable or rougher areas of town.

And an empty soul
Feeling disconnected or unsatisfied on a deeper level.

With no show
Feeling like life has no meaning or purpose.

And nothing to live for
Feeling lost or without direction in life.
