Take a long look back from where you started
It's longer than you have ever gone
But who would've thought that back in the beginning
That you'd be better off never leaving home?
But that's how it goes, you're never guaranteed
That the path that you have chosen wasn't wrong
But it's right to go the wrong way, it brought you up here today
And write about the wrong here in this song
♪
Strike a big chord, tell a mighty story
Note-taking shorthand on the run
There's no better way to leave a mark upon the page
Than to let the pen do what it's always done
So let the ink bleed, let the song sing
Give the garden what it needs and let it grow
'Cause harmony is happiness, earthquakes and vibrations
Words we've given to the unknown
You can never get high enough
To look back at how far you've come
From where you hang your heart
'Cause home beats inside your chest
But you're never gonna find it if you can't admit
That you're running from where you are
♪
Take a long look back from where you started
It's longer than you have ever gone
But who would've thought that back in the beginning
That the path you had to take would lead you home?
