Avenues
Vanessa Lee Lyrics

I looked in my rear view mirror and
Reflecting on the past seems more clear than looking ahead

It seemed to make a lot more sense
Past experiences provide insight and understanding

Than what I see ahead of us, ahead us
Present and future uncertainties are causing confusion

I′m ready to make that turn
Ready to make a decision to avoid potential disaster

Before we both crash and burn
Prevent a destructive outcome for both of us

Cause that can be the death of us, the death of us
The consequences could be detrimental to our relationship

Baby you know how to drive in rain
You handle challenges well and remain steadfast

You decided not to make a change
You chose to stay stagnant and not progress

Stuck in the same old lane
Trapped in a repetitive and unchanging situation

Going the wrong way home
Heading towards a negative direction

I feel like my heart is stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic
Feeling emotionally congested and overwhelmed

I'm under pressure
Feeling stressed and anxious about the situation

Cause I can′t have you the way that I want
Unable to have the relationship I desire

Let's just go back to the way it was
Return to a happier and simpler time in our relationship

When we were on Honeymoon Avenue
Recalling a time of love and happiness in the past

Can we get back to the way it was
Hoping to restore the joy and contentment we once had

Hey, what happened to the butterflies
Questioning the loss of excitement and passion in the relationship

Guess they encountered that stop sign
Obstacles and challenges halted the romantic feelings

And my heart is at a yellow light, a yellow light
Feeling uncertain and hesitant about the current state

Hey, right when I think that we've found it
Just as hope and progress seem within reach

Well that′s when we start turning around
The relationship takes a negative turn unexpectedly

You′re saying baby don't worry
Despite the challenges, reassurance is given

But we′re still going the wrong way
Despite attempts to improve, the relationship remains on a negative trajectory

They say only fools fall in love
Some suggest that love is risky and foolish

Well they must′ve been talking about us
Implying that our relationship may be deemed foolish by others

Sometimes I feel like
Occasionally I have a sense of déjà vu

I've been here before
Experiencing a familiar and repetitive situation

I could be wrong, but I know I'm right
Questioning doubt but confident in my intuition

We′re gonna be lost
If we don't change our course, we will lose ourselves

If we continue to fight
Struggling to find a resolution causes further problems

Honey I know
I understand and recognize the situation

That we can find our way home
Believing we can rediscover our happiness and connection
