The Long Way Home Lyrics

The hours that we spent in between
They didn't mean what we wanted them to mean
We were tired and scared and having dreams of showing
Up unprepared
Now the little bird is perched on that giant tree
Singing songs so sweet and beautifully
Now as the sun it sets
I wonder if there will be anything I'll regret
So let's take the long way home
Every moment I spend with you
Let's make it slow, so slow
We'll mark the moments as they go.
I love when everything falls into place
Only happens after I've given up the race
Well, I have eyes to see

I have life that's bursting forth inside of me
So let's take the long way home
Every moment I spend with you
Let's make it slow, so slow
We'll mark the moments as they go.
To many people I have been many things
Hunger hatred love and endless innocence
And to those who've gone
I am one who will remember them in song
So let's take the long way home
Every moment I spend with you
Let's make it slow, so slow
We'll mark the moments as they go.
We'll mark the moments as the go
Yeah we'll mark the moments as they go.
