Lyrics
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.
His eyes appear vacant
He'd taken more than his share
Trying hard not to awaken
The voice of regret in his ear
He can't escape the timeline
So much worse than he had feared
Lived every moment
Wishing the past would disappear
He took the long way
On the freeway
He took the long way
On the freeway
She was his all and everything
But her strength it needed space
Hеr love was but a haunting
She left, but nеver went away
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
Well, it couldn't be had
What he wanted to hold
He dared to let go
He should've known
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
