The Long Way Home
Journey of Love and Reflection: The Long Way Home
Lyrics
The hours that we spent in between
The time we spent in between.
They didn't mean what we wanted them to mean
Those moments didn't fulfill our desired meanings.
We were tired and scared and having dreams of showing
We were exhausted, fearful, and dreaming of appearing unprepared.
Up unprepared
Reflecting on being unprepared in certain situations.
Now the little bird is perched on that giant tree
A metaphorical bird singing sweetly on a large tree.
Singing songs so sweet and beautifully
The beauty in the songs the bird sings.
Now as the sun it sets
As the sun sets, contemplating potential regrets.
I wonder if there will be anything I'll regret
Concerns about regretful actions or decisions.
So let's take the long way home
Suggesting taking a longer route home.
Every moment I spend with you
Emphasizing the value of every moment spent together.
Let's make it slow, so slow
Advocating for a slow-paced, deliberate approach to life.
We'll mark the moments as they go.
Acknowledging and appreciating moments as they occur.
I love when everything falls into place
Expressing joy when everything falls into place.
Only happens after I've given up the race
Success comes after giving up on a competitive race.
Well, I have eyes to see
Having the ability to perceive and understand.
I have life that's bursting forth inside of me
Having a vibrant life within.
So let's take the long way home
Reiterating the preference for a longer journey home.
Every moment I spend with you
Emphasizing the significance of time spent together.
Let's make it slow, so slow
Reinforcing the idea of a slow, deliberate pace in life.
We'll mark the moments as they go.
Noting the importance of marking and cherishing moments.
To many people I have been many things
Reflecting on the varied roles played for different people.
Hunger hatred love and endless innocence
Experiencing hunger, hatred, love, and innocence.
And to those who've gone
Paying homage to those who have passed away.
I am one who will remember them in song
Being a person who will remember them through song.
So let's take the long way home
Advocating for a longer route home once again.
Every moment I spend with you
Reiterating the value of shared moments.
Let's make it slow, so slow
Encouraging a deliberate and unhurried approach to life.
We'll mark the moments as they go.
Stressing the importance of marking and remembering moments.
We'll mark the moments as the go
Repeating the idea of marking moments as they pass.
Yeah we'll mark the moments as they go.
Emphasizing the continuous process of marking and cherishing moments.
