We run in circles long distance We can't get lost in town like this With all the same stores everywhere In the same squares The light pollution fills our cells We pick our battles but don't pick well We run ourselves to death We're nowhere yet Take the long way home Take the wrong roads Take the long way home Take the wrong roads If you were a friend You'd let them know that We just couldn't stand To stay here anymore It's not the end So please don't feel like You need to pretend You don't want us to go Sell all your things We just won't need them Whatever we bring Will only weigh us down If you're a friend You'll tell them all that We just couldn't stand To stay here in this town Anymore Take the long way home Take the wrong roads Take the long way home Take the wrong roads Take the long way home Take the long way home Take the long way home Take the wrong roads
