I’m just taking a detour I told myself 

Taking the time to feel more once again 

The truth is I wanted to take care of my family 

Setting aside what ignites me, not a tragedy 

 

There’s something more important than passion, it’s true                           There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do, anything for you

You gotta live to make you feel 

the love that you need 

You gotta sweat before you smell 

the roses in bed 

 

I’m just taking a detour I told myself 

Taking the time to feel more once again 

What I really wanted can wait till I’ve got clarity

All these distractions are testing my sanity

 

There’s nothing more important than you and me today 

I just try so hard to make you feel safe

You gotta live to make you feel 

the love that you need 

You gotta sweat before you smell 

the roses in bed

 

I’m just taking a detour I told myself 

Taking the time to feel more once again 

The truth is I wanted to take care of my family 

Setting aside what ignites me, not a tragedy 

 

There’s something more important than passion, it’s true                          

There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do, anything for you

You gotta live to make you feel 

the love that you need 

You gotta sweat before you smell 

the roses in bed
