Long way home
Emma Sameth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that we've both had better days
Maybe we can learn from our mistakes
Let's not waste a minute saving face
I can see you got something to say
Even when I'm fine I feel your pain
I had
I do, I do, I know somewhere we can drive to
Drive to 'til you find your way back
If you're stuck in your head and you're spinning scared
You can stay where you are and I'll meet you there
You don't need to explain
I'll take the long way home with you
When we run out of words we can make it up
When we're stuck in the mud we can laugh about it
Baby, you set the pace
I'll take the long way home with you
Shake it off, you know I'll never be
Somebody that you gotta try and please
Baby, you be you and I'll be me
I heard
'Cause there's a rhythm in the silence making music with our eyes
Takes some pain to be alive so pinch me soft and leave me
Dreaming by your side 'til you find your way back
If you're stuck in your head and you're feeling scared
You could stay where you are and I'll meet you there
You don't need to explain
I'll take the long way home with you
When we run out of words we can make it up
When we're stuck in the mud we can laugh about it
Baby, you set the pace
I'll take the long way home with you
I'll take the long way home with you
Do you, do you wanna talk about it?
I do, I do, I know somewhere we can drive to
Drive to 'til you find your way back
If you're stuck in your head and you're feeling scared
You could stay where you are and I'll meet you there
You don't need to explain
I'll take the long way home with you
When we run out of words we can make it up
When we're stuck in the mud we can laugh about it
Baby, you set the pace
I'll take the long way home with you
I'll take the long way home with you
Emma Sameth's song Long Way Home is a tender and comforting ballad about staying by someone's side through thick and thin. The lyrics describe a relationship in which two people have been through tough times, but remain committed to each other. Sameth sings, "I can stay, no matter what it takes / I know that we've both had better days / Maybe we can learn from our mistakes / Let's not waste a minute saving face." She acknowledges that they both have baggage and flaws, but encourages her partner to open up and talk about their feelings: "Do you, do you wanna talk about it?" She assures them that she's in it for the long haul, and won't judge or abandon them, even when things get difficult.
Sameth's lyrics also emphasize the importance of honesty and vulnerability in a relationship. She acknowledges that sometimes words fail us, and that's okay. "When we run out of words we can make it up / When we're stuck in the mud we can laugh about it / Baby, you set the pace / I'll take the long way home with you." This sentiment suggests that communication doesn't always have to be verbal; sometimes the best way to show someone you care is to just be there, to share a moment of silence, or to find humor in difficult circumstances. Ultimately, the song is a testament to the enduring power of love and the strength that comes from supporting one another.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to watch! The chat closed so I couldn't answer the last question in full (still figuring out this youtube premiere thang) but loved connecting with you guys. It's something I rarely get to do (it's waay different than just responding to IG messages, which I love!). Makes me very excited to get out and start performing and connecting in person:) More to come soon!
