Long Way Home
Journey of Loss and Redemption: Long Way Home by Austin Plaine
Lyrics
Tonight I'll take the long way home
Tonight, I'll choose a longer route back home
The wind is howling and my face is cold
The wind is strong and it's making my face feel cold
Life is just a gamble
Life is uncertain and involves taking risks
My money's on the table
I've placed my bet on a risky situation or decision
Tonight I'll take the long way home
Reiteration of choosing the longer route back home tonight
I've searched the corners of the world
I've explored various places in the world
I left my heart in the arms of a girl
I've left my emotions, particularly love, with a girl
She once was a treasure
She was once very precious to me
But like everything I lost her
However, like many things, I've lost her
I've searched the corners of the world
Repeatedly expressing the search for meaning or fulfillment in various places
Tonight I'll take the long way home
Repeating the intention to take a longer route home
The wind is howling and my face is cold
Similar to line 2, emphasizing the weather conditions
Life is just a gamble
Life's unpredictability and the risks it involves
My money's on the table
Reiteration of taking a risky chance or decision
Tonight I'll take the long way home
Restating the choice of a longer path home tonight
To think this could be the end
Contemplating the possibility of an end or conclusion
I'm looking back on who I've been
Reflecting on past experiences and self-identity
I used to be full of life
Previously, I used to be lively or enthusiastic
Now I'm walking down a long white line
Now, I feel like I'm moving towards an uncertain or challenging path
To think this could be the end
Repeating the contemplation of a potential end or conclusion
Tonight I'll take the long way home
Restating the choice to take a longer way home tonight
The wind is howling and my face is cold
Similar to lines 2 and 14, highlighting the weather's effect
Life is just a gamble
Reaffirming life's uncertainties and risks
My money's on the table
Reiteration of taking a risky chance or decision
Oh tonight I'll take the long way
Expressing the intent to take a longer path tonight
I'll take the long way tonight
Repeating the determination to take the longer way home tonight
I'll take the long way home
Final confirmation of choosing the extended route back home
