Lyrics
Don'y deny we hide
some things that we don't wanna see
We can't deny that things
are turning out this way..
Though we try to keep the front,
fueling the facade
don't you want to feel
lighter some way?
Chorus
Don't take it the wrong way
But this road is taking the long way
(Baby)
Don't take it the wrong way
But this road is taking the long way
Yes at times, we can find
a place of sunlight in the shade
we can remind ourselves
to smile it all away...
Though we try to keep the front,
fueling the facade
don't you want to feel
lighter some way?
Chorus
Taking the long way...
Though we try to keep the front,
fueling the facade
don't you want to feel
lighter some way?
Chorus
