"the long run" lyrics
All of your exes, they mess with your head
And right now you don't know how to feel
They change your perception, it's making you question
If things that I mention are real
But baby, I promise that I'm being honest
I'll tell you what, let's make a deal
As much as I want this, I gotta acknowledge
That you need a second to heal (Yeah)
We don't gotta rush or move too fast, girl
You help me slow down time
When we one-on-one, it feels so natural
With you right by my side
This the kind of love that feels like laughter
The only time I cry
All these other dudes are ten-yard dashes
But you know that I
Girl, I'm in it for the long run
I could do it forever
And I wish I said it's all I love
With a minimal effort
And then they say you know you know
And I would stay through highs and lows
Keep you safe when flames get cold
'Til the day we're gray and old
No, there's nothing you could do, and there's nothing you could say
That would change the way I move, 'cause I'm stuck inside my ways
If I gotta be a fool, then I'd love to be insane
If you wanna be my muse, I could use a brush to paint
And, baby, we both hate passive aggression
I know there's no way that I wouldn't feel
If you got a problem, you're glad to express it
If you got an issue, I'm happy to hear
And, baby, we end game, I don't see an end date
I take you on vacation, that's a typical Wednesday
Don't care what your friends say
All these other men, babe
They all doin' 10k's, but me?
Girl, I'm in it for the long run
I could do it forever (I could do it, I could do it)
And I wish I said it's all I love
With a minimal effort
And then they say you know you know
And I would stay through highs and lows
Keep you safe when flames get cold
'Til the day we're gray and old
And right now you don't know how to feel
They change your perception, it's making you question
If things that I mention are real
But baby, I promise that I'm being honest
I'll tell you what, let's make a deal
As much as I want this, I gotta acknowledge
That you need a second to heal (Yeah)
We don't gotta rush or move too fast, girl
You help me slow down time
When we one-on-one, it feels so natural
With you right by my side
This the kind of love that feels like laughter
The only time I cry
All these other dudes are ten-yard dashes
But you know that I
Girl, I'm in it for the long run
I could do it forever
And I wish I said it's all I love
With a minimal effort
And then they say you know you know
And I would stay through highs and lows
Keep you safe when flames get cold
'Til the day we're gray and old
No, there's nothing you could do, and there's nothing you could say
That would change the way I move, 'cause I'm stuck inside my ways
If I gotta be a fool, then I'd love to be insane
