It’s a long way back home

To pack up and leave again

To gather along

Or you without me again



It’s a long way back home

And a long way back here again

I should have known

That you would just plead again



For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it’s just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew

I have to go

I already know



It’s a long way back home

To feel like I’m far away

And how should I know

What goes on here anyway?



For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it’s just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew

I have to go



You already know

Why God spent a week on a star

No time, you can’t get there by car

When we get some time on our own

We’ll plan out our next trip alone



It’s a long way back home

From just about anywhere

Cause once through the door

I’m not even halfway there



For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it’s just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew

I have to go

I’m already known



It’s a long way back home



It’s a long way back home
