Life's a Long Way to Run
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.
Love don't mean much to someone like you
It's just a game or fun thing to do
And when it's over and your lover has gone,
Do you know where you stand?
Do you long for someone?
Oh, life's a long way to run
Time hasn't changed your ways
I guess that's why no one stays
Each night, you lose your head
To dream away the things you said
And when you think of the places you've been,
All the lives that have come between
And all the love that you've thrown to one side,
Stop and think for a while
Do you long for someone?
Oh, life's a long way to run
Where do you go from here?
There goes another year
One day, you'll wait to find
That you're the one who's left behind
Time hasn't changed your ways
I guess that's why no one stays
Each night, you lose your head
Just to dream away all the things you said
Where do you go from here?
There goes another year
One day, you'll wait to find
That you're the one who's left behind
