The Long Way Home
Journey of Heartache: The Long Way Home Revealed
Lyrics
Wait
Implying a pause or a request for attention
There's something I gotta say to you
Expressing a need to communicate something important
Something I've always wanted to
An admission of a long-standing desire to convey a message
Always on my mind
Constantly occupying thoughts or memory
Please, don't put it all on me
Pleading not to shoulder all the responsibility
It was never meant to be
Indicating a lack of compatibility or destiny
I gave in too easily
Admitting to yielding too readily
And I'm scared, and I'm tired
Feeling fearful and weary
I don't wanna fight
Reluctance towards conflict
I can't change the world
Feeling incapable of making a significant impact
I haven't got the nerve
Lacking the courage to enact change
And I'm wrong and I'm right
Acknowledging being both right and wrong, yet unalterable
But it's set in stone
Referring to an unchangeable situation
Did you ever love somebody so
Questioning deep love for someone to the point of letting them go
You turn around and let them go?
Choosing a more complex or difficult path
I'll take the long way home
Reiterating the decision to take a longer route
I'll take the long way home
Repeating the choice of a prolonged journey
Hide, hide away your grace
Advising to protect one's grace or dignity
It's too good to waste
Stating something valuable should not be wasted
On a fool like me
Feeling unworthy of something good
Run, run that river dry
Encouraging the depletion of emotions or feelings
Tears that I don't cry
Referencing unshed tears
Memories won't fade and die
Asserting that memories persist
And I'm scared, and I'm tired
Reiterating fear and fatigue
I don't wanna fight
Disinclination towards conflict
I can't change the world
Feeling powerless to enact change
I haven't got the nerve
Lacking the bravery to initiate change
And I'm wrong and I'm right
Acknowledging the duality of being right and wrong
But it's set in stone
Emphasizing the unchangeable nature of a situation
Did you ever love somebody so
Questioning the intensity of love causing departure
You turn around and let them go?
Reaffirming the decision to take a longer route
I'll take the long way home
Reasserting the choice of an extended journey
I'll take the long way home
Reiterating the decision to take a prolonged path
Have you ever had to tear yourself
Asking if one has experienced forcibly separating oneself
Have you ever had to tear yourself
Repeating the question about forcibly separating oneself
Have you ever had to tear yourself away
Reiterating the experience of forcibly pulling away
Have you ever had to bear yourself
Questioning enduring a challenging situation without preparation
With no way to prepare yourself
Emphasizing the lack of readiness for a difficult situation
Have you ever had to tear yourself away
Asking about forcibly pulling oneself away from something
