When you meet your soul mate after a lot of lonely walks on your own, you want to walk the long way home with them. One of the first songs I wrote for Philly when we first met in 2017.
Dedicated to Philly, my forever girl.
LONG WAY HOME
Now I can see that we’re here to stay
It’s been such a perfect day
So since we have time let’s take the long way home
Now the weight is lifted from me
And we’re walking in harmony
Since we have time let’s take the long way home
I couldn’t find a light to show the path
Things seem so dark
A fruitless search to find my other half
Then you appeared without a question mark
So now there’s nothing we can’t do
It’s just two syllables me and you
And now we have time let’s take the long way home
You made it easy you showed your heart
It wasn’t hard to do my part
So now I found you let’s take the long way home
I spent a long while walking on my own
But it was overdue
Sifting the pieces of the hurts I’ve known
So I was ready to love you
We’re talking nonsense but it’s ok
Every day now is a perfect day
And since we have time let’s take the long way home
