Lyrics
We took the long way to get it right.
Had to compromise a little baby.
Yeah, compromise.mmmm.
I really love how we travel well together.
We roamed the streets in Salamanca.
Without much sleep anyway.
It don't have to be perfect.
It just has to be.
We're gonna ride this thing till the wheels come off, Until this body betrays me.
We got places to go.
We got forty years.
But, it'll take more time if you're never coming back again.
We take the back-roads home tonight.
We talk about Che Guevara, superpowers, and Jane's Addiction, mmm.
Well, I was wrong from very start.
But, I was right about your heart.
I was quite right.
It don't have to be perfect.
It just has to be.
We're gonna ride this
thing till the wheels come off,
Until this body betrays me.
We got places to go.
We got forty years.
But, it'll take more time if you're never coming back again.
We took the long way to get it right.
Had to compromise a little baby.
It was do or die, maybe.
I was wrong from the very start.
But, I was right about your heart.
I was quite right, anyway.
So, come back again.
