"Long Way Around" lyrics

Another restless night staring at the walls again
Wishing you could take back everything
All the hateful words you said
But life moves on and you can't rewind
Your heart aches with pain and regret
So you lay there afraid of the past
Terrified of what lies ahead

And every time you see my face
You'll run the other way
And every time you hear my name
You close your eyes and try to escape
It's like you're trying to fly away
With your feet still planted on the ground
I'll be here when you come back down
When you're done looking for the long way around

We both know this town is way too small
For our memories to just get lost
You'll never drive enough miles
To right all of your wrongs
The words you lived won't burn too long
And only time will heal you right
Now you know the only soul that cared about you
Is the one you left behind

And every time you see my face
You'll run the other way
And every time you hear my name
You close your eyes and try to escape
It's like you're trying to fly away
With your feet still planted on the ground
I'll be here when you come back down
When you're done looking for the long way around
Long way around

And every time you see my face
You'll run the other way
And every time you hear my name
You close your eyes and try to escape
It's like you're trying to fly away
With your feet still planted on the ground
I'll be here when you come back down
When you're done looking for the long way around
Long way around (Woahh)
