The Missing Road
Radical Face Lyrics

Time
The ticking clock in my mind reminds me that I can't sit still.

Ticking in the back of my mind
I can feel the seconds passing as I contemplate my future.

′Cause I know what I'll find
I know that I will only find answers if I keep moving forward.

If I sit in place
Staying put will only keep me stagnant and I won't grow.

So I walk
I keep moving forward, even if I don't know where I'm going.

Never really sure where I′m going
My path forward is uncertain, but I choose to embrace it.

But it's better than knowing
Moving forward, even in the face of uncertainty, is better than staying in one place and never growing.

What every day will be
Predictable routine holds me back from fulfilling my true potential.

I am who I am
I have embraced my identity and am content with it.

And I know what I know
I have a good grasp on what has transpired in the past and what is happening in the present.

But I don't know my way
Even with my knowledge, I am still uncertain of the correct path to follow.

I just go where I go
Despite my uncertainty, I keep moving forward.

But I never could forget your face
Your memory remains with me despite the passage of time.

It finds me in my sleep
Your face and memory still haunt my thoughts, even in my dreams.

And I′d like to tell you about those dreams
I wish I could share my thoughts about you, but fear that my words will fall short.

But talk is always cheap
Sometimes, words cannot adequately express how one feels or what one wants to say.

So I go where I go
I continue on my journey, searching for answers and purpose.

That road is gone
The past is in the past, leaving only memories and lessons behind.

Now it just lives in this song
The road and memories are immortalized within this song, becoming a permanent part of my story.

I've seen all I've seen
I have experienced much on my journey, both good and bad.

But I sometimes wonder
Despite all that I have experienced, I still have moments of uncertainty and doubt.

If you still think of me
I wonder if you still remember me, as I remember you.

I never meant to fade away
I did not intend to disappear from your life, but paths diverge and lives change.

It's just the way I'm made
I am who I am, and my journey has shaped me into the person I am today.

I hope if you ever hear my name
If my name ever comes up in conversation, I hope it doesn't stir up negative feelings for you.

That it doesn't bring you pain
I don't want my memory to cause you unnecessary pain or sorrow.

And just know that I know
Despite the passing of time and distance between us, I still remember the good times we shared.

Yeah, just know that I know
My memory of you and our time together remains strong.

That those days were gold
Looking back, the memories I have of our time together remain cherished and important to me.

And a heart always holds
My heart still carries the memories of our past, even as time moves on.

Onto missing roads
As I continue on my journey, I keep the memories and lessons of our time together close to my heart, even if the path forward remains uncertain.
