The Long Road lyrics

We've walked the long road and you've worn it well

You stitched yourself up when you fell

Keep your memories in jars,

Carry secrets in scars

Beneath your shell.

You've seen some good days, and some bad ones too

You weave through fashion and trend

You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue,

You've seen it set for the dearest of friends

You found faith but you, chose to doubt it

You found love but you, left without it

And now you don't want, to talk about it

You travelled down through foreign lands,

Touched mountain tops and golden sand,

Seen pyramids and temples made of stone

Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf,

A treasured book of photographs

In every single one you stand alone

You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,

As you watched the decades fall

The letters that you wrote never made it home.

Your birthdays flew past like June,

With Christmas days in hotel rooms

And new years eve with people you don't know

You built friendships but they, sailed without you

You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you

They don't ever talk about you

You're older than you used to be,

The mirror weaves a tapestry

Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes

You stare back at a man, forever holding out his hand

As if the answer's going to fall out of the sky

But the penny never dropped,

And no man has ever stopped time from flying by
