Lyrics

Vs.1
I saw you alone tonight
From across the room
Oh? and I couldn?t move

Our eyes met and then left,
But they fell too soon.
When I looked, I couldn?t find you

Pre-Chorus:
I stayed around awhile,
Just to pass the time, say goodbye
Yea, ?It?s getting late,
I best be on my way?

Chorus:
So I go out and watch the rain fall down East Avenue
I pull my coat around me tight, then I try and push through

Just around the corner, I half-expect to see you.
And I tell myself what I already know
That it?s a good night for the long way home.

A friend once told me I was, that I was losing my mind
Oh, if he could see me tonight

(But) this isn?t like me at all, I may be falling too hard
Mmm? I can almost see stars

Pre-Chorus:
As I pass by your place, there?s a light that?s on, you must be home?
God, it?s getting late, I?m going insane, I should walk away

Chorus2:
So I walk out into the rainfall down East Avenue
Then I pull my coat around me tight and I try and push through

Just around the corner, I got a warm bed to get to?
So I tell myself, ?You gotta get control,
Cause this is no night for the long way home?

Bridge:
And as I make my way, up the stairs and turn the key
I hear a voice from the street, I turn around and see, see you staring at me

Chorus3:
So I go out into the rainfall down East Avenue
And I pull my coat around you tight, I can see you smile through

(I say?) ?Just around the corner, there?s a place we can go to??
But you shake your head and I already know
That it?s a good night for the long way home?

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na? the long way home (x6)
