Long Way Back Home - Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies


Lyrics
It's a long way back home

To pack up and leave again

Together alone

You without me again


It's a long way back home

And a long way back here again
I should have known

That you would just bleed again

[
Chorus]

For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it's just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew
I have to go
I already know


It's a long way back home

To feel like I'm far away

And how should I know

What goes on here anyway?

[
Chorus]


Why not spend a week on a star

No time, he can't get there by car

When we get some time on our own

We'll plan out our next day alone


It's a long way back home

To just about anywhere
'
Cause once through the door

We're not even halfway there


For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it's just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew
I have to go

You already know


It's a long way back home

It's a long way back home
