Paths

[Verse 1: Niki]
If God really listens
Like your mom says He does
Then He better be saving you
For our future kids and dogs

[Pre-Chorus: Niki]
I thought we'd be married
Two pillars firm and proud
But real love is a verb
I get it now

[Chorus: Niki]
My youth is in your past
You'll always have that
And though it didn't last, I hope our paths
Cross again

[Verse 2: Niki]
If time heals all
It's a lousy doctor
Or a half-baked thought
'Cuz I still can't block you

[Pre-Chorus: Niki]
I came upon family
And thought I was stifled
Thought my freedom and danger
Was just young and entitled

[Chorus: Niki]
And you taught me a lot
Stretched in wrong and tossed
I'm sorry we got lost
I hope our paths cross again

[Bridge: Niki]
We'll love others
We'll drift apart
But every time I sing a song
You won't feel very far

[Chorus: Niki]
The future's ours to write
The songs, the scars, the life
I'll catch up with you some other time
When our paths cross again

[Outro: Niki]
Cross again
