The Long Way Home
Journey to Belonging: The Long Way Home
Lyrics
I'm gonna drive us to the oceanside
I plan to drive us to the oceanside.
We've been waiting here for too long, yes
We've been waiting here for a significant amount of time.
When the mountains sing their songs to us
The mountains are metaphorically singing their songs to us.
I am right here where I belong
I feel like I am in the right place, where I belong.
I hear them sing
I hear a chorus of voices singing.
I'm gonna take the long way home
I choose to take a longer route home.
Do you hear them sing
Asking if you also hear the singing voices.
I'm gonna take the long way home,
Reaffirming the decision to take the longer route home.
Yeah
An expression of agreement or affirmation.
I'm a traveller and I take my time
Describing oneself as a traveler who takes their time.
Even the water is not cold, yes
Even the water is not cold, suggesting comfort or warmth.
We're gonna drink the sea and eat a dine
Planning to metaphorically consume the sea and enjoy a meal.
Down here I will slow your world
Assuring to slow down the partner's world in this place.
I hear them sing
Hearing the singing voices again.
I'm gonna take the long way home
Choosing to take the longer route home again.
Do you hear them sing
Asking if the listener also hears the singing voices.
You'll never gonna be alone
Assuring the listener that they will never be alone.
Yeah
An expression of agreement or confirmation.
I'm grow up through the storm
Growing up and overcoming challenges, represented by the storm.
I want to kiss and follow
Expressing a desire to kiss and follow something or someone.
I wanna be
Expressing a wish or aspiration.
I want to kiss and hollow
Expressing a desire to kiss and feel empty or hollow.
I wanna be
Reiterating a wish or aspiration.
I'm grow up through the storm
Continuing to grow up and overcome challenges.
I hear them sing, hear them hear them
Hearing the singing voices once more.
I'm gonna swim into the storm
Deciding to face challenges by swimming into the storm.
So if you hear them sing
If you hear the singing voices, I will take the longer route home.
I'm gonna take the long way home
Reaffirming the decision to take the longer route home.
