The Long Way Home

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.
