Long Way

from Homecoming by Ryan Garrett

/

about

A song about trying to pull someone out of a tough situation, no matter the consequences.

lyrics

Along these streets of suicide
I'm finally waking up inside
To see a stranger in you now
The way I've seen him push you around
Pretty soon girl you are bound
To find the long way down

And it's a long way from Philly to L.A.
But I'd drive it if I had to
If it would take me to you

Along this road of love and hate
You'll find people that don't appreciate
All the love you trap inside
It's like a ghost that haunts this trail
A spirit inside you, screaming "You've failed"
Or was it just him all this time?

And if the road you're on goes nowhere
Then why take it on full throttle?
It's like cutting the anchor off your ship
Only to find that it was in a bottle
And now you're numb and afraid
Is that what you asked for?

Cause it's a long way from Dublin to Monterrey
But I'd fly it if I had to
Well maybe I ought to someday
