LONG WAY THERE
At the end of a very long day, I am walking home
The wind is at my face, chills me to the bone
Brings me to my senses, the moon takes my breath away
Weakens my defenses on this very long day
At the signal where I cross, you pulled into my way
You said that I seemed lost, I’m just escaping from the day
The leaves are strewn in cirles, the sky’s a purple haze
You ask me where I’m going, I say...
Oh it may seem I’ve lost my way, but that’s not the case,
I'm just tryin’ to find a better day
Sometimes the easy way won’t get you anywhere
You gotta take the long way there
Take the long way there
Morning brings such stillness as I creak across my floor
Filled with so much willingness, I stumble through my door
The day lies there waiting, the calm before the storm
Birds fly overhead in perfect form
But soon reality bites, bleeds into my day
Makes me want to take flight, all these roadblocks in my way
Everybody wants something, theres more give than take
I’m looking for an exit, some kind of break
It may seem I’ve lost my way, but that’s not the case
I'm just tryin’ to find a better day
Sometimes the easy way won’t get you anywhere
Real things lie upon thin air
Open your eyes, you’ll get there if you dare
To take the long way there...
Take the long way there...
At the end of a very long day, my head is hanging low
The wind it at my face, makes me walk kind of slow
Walking down this road, feeling kind of bare
But I’ll get there, take the long way there
The long way there... the long way there
Not such a long way there... the long way there
