One-way roadsMake it harder to


One-way roads

Make it harder to go back from where you came

You take side streets, round-a-bouts

An illegal turn here or there.

 

And sure you get back to where you came from

But it took an extra 30 minutes

And you risk a ticket

Or sometimes your life

 

Because you were so concerned with figuring out a new path

You didn't pay attention to on-coming traffic

Because you were trying to figure out how to get there as fast as you left

You took some unsafe short-cuts

 

And if the road was a two way street

You could come and go as you please

Without hassle, without any loss of time

 

Love is communication is driving down a road

Keep both sides of the road open

Make it as easy as possible to get from Point A to Point B and back again
