Long way home
schala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never knowing why, we're always searching for a reason, hm
Why some things break us
And some things don't
Like a photograph
Hold this moment
'Cause the future won't let us go
Got a long way home
We'll lean on each other
I'm not on my own
As long as I go with you, oh
As long as I go with you, oh
As long as I go with you
As long as I go with you
As long as I go with you
Somewhere up above the clouds I know the sun is rising, oh
And somewhere in the world there is a place we aren't divided, oh
Where nothing breaks us
And we're not alone
Like a photograph
Hold this moment
'Cause the future won't let us go
'Cause I know we've
Got a long way home
We'll lean on each other
I'm not on my own
As long as I go with you
As long as I go with you
As long as I go with you, oh
With you, oh
As long as I go with you
