The Long Road歌词

[00:11.68]We've walked the long road
[00:13.31]and you've worn it well.
[00:16.65]You stitched yourself up when you fell.
[00:21.65]Keep your memories in jars,
[00:24.05]Carry secrets in scars
[00:26.10]Beneath your shell.
[00:32.83]You've seen some good days,
[00:34.76]and some bad ones too.
[00:38.16]You weave through fashion and trend.
[00:44.08]You've seen a sun rise on an ocean blue,
[00:48.08]You've seen it set for the dearest of friends
[00:55.27]You found faith but you, chose to doubt it.
[01:01.09]You found love but you, left without it.
[01:06.92]And now you don't want, to talk about it.
[01:16.90]You travelled down through foreign lands,
[01:19.12]Touched mountain tops and golden sand,
[01:21.94]Seen pyramids and temples made of stone.
[01:27.87]Keep seashells in a cashmere scarf,
[01:30.61]A treasured book of photographs
[01:32.91]In every single one you stand alone.
[01:37.57]You've seen Vienna and the Berlin wall,
[01:41.35]As you watched the decades fall
[01:44.27]The letters that you wrote never made it home.
[01:49.65]Your birthdays flew past like June,
[01:52.59]With Christmas days in hotel rooms
[01:55.34]And new years eve with people you don't know.
[02:01.98]You built friendships but they, sailed without you.
[02:07.78]You never meant it and that's why, they doubt you.
[02:14.46]They don't ever talk about you.
[02:24.48]You're older than you used to be,
[02:27.69]The mirror weaves a tapestry
[02:30.04]Of lines that dance and shimmer 'round your eyes.
[02:36.07]You stare back at a man,
[02:38.61]forever holding out his hand
[02:41.40]As if the answer's going to fall out of the sky.
[02:48.49]But the penny never dropped,
[02:51.73]And no man has ever stopped time flying by.
