The Long Way Round

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the black case
A ghost in the space
I kept it all hidden
The secret was forbidden
The clock ticks at midnight
In the glow of the moonlight
I’m tired of lying
I’m finished with crying
[Pre-Chorus]
A flicker in the dark
A quiet little spark
It’s humming in my veins
Breaking all the chains
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re taking the long way
Running through the grey
It’s never too late
To challenge our fate
Can you hear the sound?
The long way round
Yeah!
[Post-Chorus]
Taking the long way
Running through the grey
Can you hear the sound?
The long way round
[Verse]
Coffee and spreadsheets
The quiet of the streets
The years turned to rust
I’m shaking off the dust
The engine is burning
The wheels are turning
The water is hot
I’ll take what I’ve got
[Pre-Chorus]
A flicker in the dark
A quiet little spark
It’s humming in my veins
Breaking all the chains
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re taking the long way
Running through the grey
It’s never too late
To challenge our fate
Can you hear the sound?
The long way round
Yeah!
[Bridge]
No more fears
After all these years
The vision clears
The silence disappears
The road is wide
The sky is blue
I’m coming through
For something new
The motor is loud
I’m piercing the cloud
I’m standing proud
Among the crowd
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re taking the long way
Running through the grey
It’s never too late
To challenge our fate
Can you hear the sound?
The long way round
Yeah!
[Hook]
The long way round
The long way round
The long way round
We're finally found
The long way round
The long way round
The long way round
We're finally found
[Outro]
