Long Way Home Lyrics

It's hard to say from where you stand 
Exactly when it all began 
But someplace there's a point you cross the line 
You see the tears than stain your face 
Mirrored in your make-up case 
And know it's time to leave this place behind 
It's a long way home 
It's a long way home 
It's a long way home 
Trying to retrace your steps 
All too easy to forget 
Just which way to go 
It's a long way home 

Outside the sky is threatening 
You slowly gather up your things 
And wonder how you ever will explain 
Walking out so self-assured 
Yeah, you were gonna change the world 
Walking back, a child in the rain 

It's a long way home 
It's a long way home 
It's a long way home 
How can you retrace the steps 
You've been trying to forget 
Still it's time to go 
It's a long way home 
And if you lose your way 
Just keep your eye upon that endless broken line 

Throw your bag beneath the bus 
Sit among the curious 
It happens to the best of us, you know 

It's a long way home 
It's a long way home 
It's a long way home 
Starting to retrace your steps 
You learn to live with your regrets 
Next stop heaven knows 
It's a long way home 
Such a long way 
It's a long way home
