Road Less Travelled
Matt Caplan Lyrics

Spit it out, give it up.
Tell me another depressing story.
Here it comes, there it is.
Give me a reason to stay or I'll start packing my mind.

And in the spirit of the Indians, jaded and faded
I'll settle my score and I'll haunt all your dreams
With my Hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
Hey ah, nah nah hey.
Hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.

Hey ah, nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.

Take the time to drink from my well
Cause I'm so exhausted I can't even drink for myself.
And I built a palace with purpose complete with a shrine
Oh, but how come the road that's less traveled has so many lines?

Turn around, let me see
How many promises I've forsaken
Nevermind, let it be
Isn't it funny how each new road leads straight to home?

And in the spirit of my ancestors, Gaelic and godly
I'll spit on my fear and I'll summon my tribe
With my Hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
Hey ah, nah nah hey.
Hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
Hey ah, nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.

Take the time to answer the call
Or something far colder than winter may follow the fall.
And a yellow brick road to salvation awaits the devine.
Oh, but how come the road that's traveled is where I find mine?

And with the ebbing and the flowing of the tide
I'm washed ashore
And each sermon seceeding is stranger than
Before you take me, teach me to run from myself.
Before you take me, let me take somebody else.

Take the time to fall on your knees
Cause my soul is a cell, and I can't come and go as I please.
And I paid my debt with my blood and my sweat and my time.
Oh, but how come the road that's less traveled is paved with my crimes?

Hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
Hey ah, nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
Hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
Hey ah, nah nah, hey ah nah nah hey.
