Lyrics
Long Long Way
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.
Long long way to the top
Long way down if you fall
And it's a long way back if you get lost
Long way out to the end
Long way to go to lose your friends
It's a long way to haul all the traps you've trawled
When you could just stop and let go
But you say
"Not now, maybe later
But not now, maybe later
Not now, maybe later"
(You're only in your way)
"But not now, maybe later"
(You're only in your way)
"Not now, maybe later"
(You're only in your way)
"But not now, maybe later"
(You're only in your way)
"But not now, maybe, wait"
(You're only in your way)
'Cause love is tough
When enough is not enough
Not enough
Not enough
Not enough
