THE SHORTEST PATH

I begin the night	
too many hours ahead
A different city light	
I dream awake instead

Seen the rising sun
There and back again
I’m all around the world 
but I’m wishing I was with you

You’re The Shortest Path
to my destination
You’re the one I think of
when the day is through; 
I’ll find my way to you tonight
‘cause you can make the wrong turns right  
What no one else has done
makes you the only one				
30,000 feet
breakin clouds above
I’m heading for a home
I could fill with love

I am on repeat 
staring straight ahead
When I got no window seat
I just think of you instead, cause I know

Chorus

And I get lost in dreams of you
I play this scene out with the perfect line
You lose every doubt
And as we touch down, I wake and it’s through
You’re my solid ground
Time to face the truth

I’ve come a long long way, 
but I walk alone
Hear me when I say
Your open arms’ll bring me home

‘cause You’re The Shortest Path
to my destination
You’re the one I think of
when the day is through; 
and You’re The Shortest Path
in this revelation
You’re the one who’s changing
everything I knew
I’ll find my way to you tonight
cause you can make the wrong turns right

and anytime I leave I’m stayin with you...
