The answer

Took some searchin' for,

But you think you understand.

With the lights still off,

Our clothes still on the floor,

And your head in your hands

You say he's holdin' you back

And bringin' you down.

You're all out of reasons

To stick around.

It's time to think of yourself

In spite of his tears

And break your vow

Of so many years.

Don't get me wrong.

I like what I hear,

And even if it's true,

I have to ask

Cause I want to be absolutely clear:

Just what am I to you?

Oh, I'm your light in the dark,

Your breath of fresh air,

The love of your life,

The answer to all your prayers.

No,

I am just your

Long way home.

I know it.

You'll know it soon.

I am just your

Long way home.

You're welcome.

That morning

The day had finally come

For somebody to lose.

You kissed me hard

And walked out of my door

To give him the bad news.

But I followed you there

Like the sick f___k I am

To see what he'd do

When you said good-bye again.

You opened the door,

And he opened his arms,

And you fell into them

Like a baby.

I left for my car.

I became your

Long way home.

I knew it.

You know it now.

I was just your

Long way home.

I knew it.

He knows it now.

I was just your

Long way home.

You're welcome.
