Long Way Home

It's not what we expected

not what we had planned

but maybe it is better

than we can understand

like finding a good reason

in a bottle on the shore

everything will have it's season

nobody's keeping score

this is not how I thought that it would be

waiting on some circumstance, to make me feel complete

innocence, we pass it down

like corduroys with the knees worn out

i wanna take the long way home

the long way home

i'm driving in slow motion

on streets of might-have been's

put to rest my reservations

A new day to begin

this is not how I thought that it should go

drag me around and around the things I thought I should know

love is not efficient, but even if it was...

innocence lost and found

like quarter tones that pass the hour

i wanna take the long way home
