The Long Way Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You take the long way home girl
What are you avoiding?
There's nothing to be wary of
Everyone here loves you
On your way you will see flowers on the sidewalk
Let their scent remind you that you have what you want
Don't forget what it meant to you
You have something that you don't want to lose
Roses are red not black
You're just feeling sorry for yourself
You want the old days back
Don't you know we're living them right now?
You just won't see it until two more years have passed
And you look back on today and all that you've taken for granted
Don't forget what it means to you
You have something worth holding on to
In the end all these things
You must leave behind
As you move through this time
You'll find
You don't want to forget what it meant to you
You have something that you don't want to lose
Don't forget what it means to you
You have something worth holding on to
