Story behind the song
what's a little odd is it took me several years to finally finish this song--i kept attempting several different angles and eventually landed on the lyrics i was trying to find all along. i'm pleased with how the song came together...and that's a difficult thing for me to say because so often i feel like i could have written the song just a little better or tell myself had i only dug a little deeper i might have found better word choices that articulated my thoughts in a way that could have taken the song to the next level.
Lyrics
WHERE THE ROADS CROSS i want to crawl under the ground find a shovel and dig deep down i want to wait so still and quiet till you come and find me so, i'm scared spitless i'm not as brave as i once was so i'm here shaking runny, messy, pretty pathetic CHORUS can you hear me from where you are? will you meet me where the roads cross? i am almost desperate broken in spirit i am almost admitting i've never felt so lost where the roads cross where the roads cross i guess i'm disenchanted with what i've left and forsaken truth is, i have no other place to go i'm a nomad in the making scabs on my knees from crawling callouses on the soles of my feet all the mileage it's taken me to learn how to be weak, how to be needy (CHORUS) BRIDGE will you reassure me that you're closing the distance? 'cause sometimes it feels like there's a universe between us where the roads cross where the roads cross written by anne davis sometimes i write songs (BMI)
