The Long Way Down
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.
When I was young
You were the talk of the town
You used to laugh at me
Didn't want me around
You were a hero
Could have had me alone
You said you wanna make it
Make it on your own
Nothing has changed it's the same as yesterday
It’s a long way so don't look around
'Cause it's a long way down
A long way down
Graduation day
You were ready to fly
You were going places
Didn't say goodbye
Just wait I'll show you
I'm gonna do my thing
People are gonna love me
Treat me like a queen
Nothing has changed it's the same as yesterday
It's a long way from here to the stars
You won't let love ever get in your way
It's a long way so don't look around
'Cause it's a long way down
A long way down
Back where we began
I'm the talk of the town
You got wife wife and kids
On the long way down
Nothing has changed it's the same as yesterday
It's a long way from here to the stars
You won't let love ever get in your way
It's a long way so don't look around
'Cause it's a long way down
A long way down
A long way down
