Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
The night is falling
The sky is a glow
My head is spinning
No place to go
As I walked down this empty street
My thoughts keep racing my feet can't keep
The darkness is creeping.
The nights are getting cold.
My heart is feeling heavy
My feet won't hold
The stars they shine so bright in the sky
But I'm still searching don't know why
Don't know why
It's a Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
It's a Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
I'm walking
I'm searching
I'm reaching for the light
My steps are heavy
I'm ready for the fight
No matter, what it takes I'm gonna make it through
I'm gonna find my way
I'm gonna make it home
Right back to you
So we can do
What it is, we do
I know you're at home
Waiting for me
With no panties on
Oooooh
I'm coming home
I know you're alone
But it won't be that way for long
Cause I'm on the way
I'm on the way back home
Ohh
It's the Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
It's a Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
It's a Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
It's a Long Way Home
A long way home
I'm searching for a place
I can call my own
It's a long way home
A long way home
I'm hoping I can make it before I'm alone
Ooooh
Before I'm alone
Ooooh
It's a long way home
Oooh

Line by Line Meaning
A few years
It has been a couple of years since we last saw each other
Since we left
Since we went separate ways and left our old lives behind
Our lives behind
The previous lives we had before we parted ways
Yet we dream
Despite the passage of time, we still yearn for what we've lost
Of going back
Going back to a time when things were better and more hopeful
To the love we've lost
To the love that we left behind and are trying to recover
I wait for you to call
I am patiently waiting for you to contact me
And ask me to return
To ask me to come back
Every second of every day
Every moment that passes
Is like a lifetime
Feels like an eternity without you
On its own
Without any sense of fulfillment or happiness
Will this road take me to you
I wonder if this journey will lead me to you
So that we can endure
So that we can face the future together and overcome its challenges
What is to come
The unknown that awaits us
Would you take me back
If you make me a promise
If you promise me this and more
If you give me your word that we will start anew and build something lasting
I'll take the long way home
I'll journey far and wide to find you again
Those dreams behind
The hopes and aspirations that we've left in the past
Yet we feel
Despite everything, we still harbor a sense of purpose and determination
There's so much left to find
There's still plenty of adventure and discovery that awaits us
And ask me to never let go
To make a vow to hold on to each other and never let go
Reminds me of you
Serves as a constant reminder of your love and presence
