Take The Long Way Round
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.
Sunshine every beat when I'm around you
Feels like maybe I've been here before
Through the cold days of learning
To the soul days of yearning
Take the long way around
Take the long way around
You know when you need it
Heart begins to clear
Tell me when you've seen it
She goes any way the lights are going
She knows there's no meaning to defend
Pull the subway to the station
For that golden lights sensation
Take the long way around
Take the long way around
You know when you need it
Heart begins to clear
Tell me when you've seen it
Sometimes you underline destinations
Sometimes you try to find inspiration
Take the long way around
Take the long way around
Take the long way around
