I’m kicking that stone Down your street alone And the walls criticise where I have gone I’m throwing that stone Through your open door And the halls seem to tell me I am wrong
I’ taking the long way home Where everything’s overgrown Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow I’ taking the long way home Whatever may come and go Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
Remember that wall Where we used to hide And the world seemed so dark and cold outside Remember that field Where we used to kiss And the rain washed away our secret list
I’ taking the long way home Where everything’s overgrown Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow I’ taking the long way home Whatever may come and go Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
Nobody’s home And I feel lost inside There’s a clock counting down What’s left of time When you’re all alone It’s easy to hesitate Like a girl listening to her heart break
I’ taking the long way home Where everything’s overgrown Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow I’ taking the long way home
I’ taking the long way home Where everything’s overgrown Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow I’ taking the long way home Whatever may come and go Just like the boy Trying to give it away I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
