The Long Way Home

Soon we'll be dead and gone

Life's brief, even when it's long

We've been going wrong in our gilded cage

While life's great adventure waits

Let's take the long way home

'Cause life's not worth living without love

Let's take the long way home

Stop for a minute to catch up

We'll lose hope if we let it

You'll easily forget it

Life, when we're looking back

Will be gauged by good times we had

Not the chains we dragged, carpe diem, we

Should go make some memories

Let's take the long way home

'Cause life's not worth living without love

Let's take the long way home

Stop for a minute to catch up

We'll lose hope if we let it

You'll easily forget it

Let's take the long way home

'Cause life's not worth living without love

Let's take the long way home

Stop for a minute to catch up

Let's take the long way home

And bask in the last rays of sun

Let's take the long way home

Just like the summers long gone

We'll lose hope if we let it

You'll easily forget it
