Long Way Home Lyrics

Sittin' alone in a dimly lit parking lot outside the seven-eleven

Memories of us flicker under the streetlights

My cortisol levels rising

Head in my hands, the last drag of a cigarette

Minutes till it'll be dusk

Sun setting over the city, setting on us

Said I'd be right back three hours ago

I'm just taking it in, the view from the end of the road

And it's a long, long, long way home

It's a long, long, long way home

Stoic and sorry, sticky and sad

Tonight courage comes liquor brown

Swimming up river through all of my tears

knowing we've already drowned

Oh, I think I'm just tired of...

I think I'm just tired

Twenty missed calls and the weight of it all

Now I wish for the end of desire

It's crazy, right

How some things just fall apart

I don't know where to turn, just that loving you hurts

And we've come to the end of the road

And it's a long, long, long way home

It's a long, long, long way home

One foot in front of the other, I'm making my way back to you

Stone in my heart and salt in my eye

When I get home, we both know it's goodbye

And I miss the nights where we danced down the avenue

all just a memory now

Strangers to lovers to strangers again

is more than my heart allows

Open the door and everything stops

You're standing there and I say

Hey, can we talk?
