The Long Way Home

Take the left, Skip the right. Different street, Different night. Pass a bar, Pass a store. Funny, I've seen this door before. Change the road, change the pace. Still I end at the same old place. Hmm. Take the long way home. See where it goes. Follow the lanes nobody Knows. Take the long way home. Turn where you please. This town has a habit Of choosing your streets. New cafe, old refrain. Different window, same damn rain. Miss the turn, cross the square. Somehow the street is already there. Take the long way home. Don’t trust the signs. Half of them point Where you hadn’t mind. Take the long way home. Choose something new. The city won't stop you. It'll follow you too. Maybe streets Are only streets. Brick and glass, names and keys. Then why does every road I choose alone Feel like the city Already knew I'd go? Take the long way home. Take any street. Walk where you want. Move your own feet. Take the long way home. Choose left, choose right. You'll swear it was your choice by the end Of the night. Different road, Same light. Different choice, Same night.
