Shortcuts Songtext
von Eat Defeat

Late nights and long drives home
Carrying on, all alone
Meanwhile, this place has changed
But I just seem to stay the same

I know it′s hard for you
To relate to what I've been through
Just know I′m happy
And I'm doing what I want to do

I don't change
No matter what you do
I′m just sad in my ways
But I′m not judging you

I've always been this way
After all is said
But I think I′ll be okay
(Okay)


When you're taking shortcuts
You′re just missing out on everything
(Missing out on everything)
I'll take the long way ′round
Be lost and never found
You'll get there faster
But I'm built to last

Go on
You′ll burn in hell
(Go on, you′ll burn in hell)

Spent all my life, it seems
Chasing after all my dreams
I should have caught them by now
But they keep outrunning me

I can't fake this
It′s make or break, if
I knew all I know now
I would do it again

I don't change
No matter what you do
I′m just sad in my ways
But I'm not judging you


When you′re taking shortcuts
You're just missing out on everything
(Missing out on everything)
I'll take the long way ′round
Be lost and never found
You′ll get there faster
But I'm built to last

Go on
You′ll burn in hell
(Go on, you'll burn in hell)

And I know there′s nothing I'd rather do
(I′d rather do)
I'd travel days just to waste time with you
(Waste time with you)
And when my body breaks down
And my money runs out
At least I'll have something to sing about

You′re taking shortcuts
(You′re taking shortcuts)
You're taking shortcuts
(You′re taking shortcuts)

When you're taking shortcuts
You′re just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way ′round
Be lost and never found
You'll get there faster
But I'm built to last

Go on, you′ll burn in hell
You′re taking shortcuts
(Go on, you'll burn in hell)
You′re taking shortcuts
(Go on, you'll burn in hell)
You′re taking shortcuts
(Go on, you'll burn in hell)
You′re taking shortcuts
Go on, you'll never learn
