Long Way Home
Journey of Redemption: Finding Love's Path in Andrea Rock's 'Long Way Home'
Lyrics
Well I stumbled in the darkness
Expressing a sense of confusion or difficulty, possibly in life's journey.
I'm lost and alone
Feeling lost and isolated.
Though I said I'd go before us
Committing to lead and guide, possibly in a relationship or life path.
And show the way back home
Offering to show the way back home, implying a journey of return or reconciliation.
There a light up ahead
Anticipating a guiding light or positive sign in the future.
I can't hold onto her arm
Struggling to hold on to a connection or relationship.
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Apologizing for a tendency to choose a more challenging or unconventional path.
Money's just something you throw
Downplaying the significance of money, suggesting a disregard for material wealth.
Off the back of a train
Describing a careless attitude towards money, using it metaphorically.
Got a head full of lightning
Having a mind filled with ideas and emotions, perhaps turbulent or intense.
A hat full of rain
Facing challenges and difficulties symbolized by a hat full of rain.
And I know that I said
Acknowledging a past mistake or promise.
I'd never do it again
Expressing remorse for a previous action and the intention not to repeat it.
And I love you pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Affirming love despite a tendency to choose a more complicated route.
I put food on the table
Meeting basic needs and responsibilities.
And roof overhead
Providing a secure and comfortable living environment.
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
Expressing a willingness to trade stability for a more adventurous life.
For the highway instead
Preferring the excitement and unpredictability of the highway.
Watch your back if I should tell you
Warning of potential betrayal or harm if love is revealed.
Love's the only thing I've ever known
Stating that love is the only constant or familiar aspect of life.
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
Affirming a commitment to taking a longer, more complex route in life.
You know I love you baby
Expressing deep love for a partner.
More than the whole wide world
Conveying love on a grand scale, encompassing the entire world.
You are my woman
Affirming a committed relationship.
I know you are my pearl
Symbolizing the partner as something precious and rare.
Let's go out past the party lights
Suggesting an escape or retreat from social obligations.
Where we can finally be alone
Proposing a private and intimate space away from external influences.
Come with me and we can take the long way home
Inviting the partner to join in taking a longer, more scenic route home.
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Reiterating the invitation and emphasizing togetherness in choosing a longer path.
Come with me, together we can take the long way home
Encouraging the partner to embrace a slower, more deliberate journey in life together.
