She was lost and I thought I was found
|
Even so I tried to bring her in
|
She was young and I had just begun
|
To learn that even losing men can win
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
We went the long way
|
We went the long way
|
We went the long way...
|
Or maybe just the wrong way
|
I'll never know
|
|
Overnight we were shown the light
|
Neither of us knew to look away...
|
So we burned and far too late we learned
|
That lifetimes can't be lived out in a day
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
So, goodbye
|
At least we made the try
|
Something can be said for love that's pure
|
If and when we ever try again
|
One thing will be known to us for sure...
|
We'll go the long way
|
We'll go the long way
|
We'll go the long way...
|
Or maybe just the wrong way
|
I'll never know
|
Whoa-Whoa, I'll never know
|
|

The Long Way
