Long Way Round

from Long Way Round by Matt Meighan

lyrics

All the roads we traveled down, all the places we were bound
It’s funny – all of them led here
Some would say and I guess it’s true we took the long way ‘round
And wasted time paying mind to fear

Now I know that you were always near
And shed a tear every time you watched me fall
Though the way ahead never did get clear
I guess we made it after all

Chasing dreams and foolish schemes not knowing what we’d find
Not knowing what we were searching for
The only road that’s yours is one your footsteps leave behind
And who’s to say what you made it for?

Now I know that you were always near
And shed a tear every time you watched me fall
Though the way ahead never did get clear
I guess we made it after all

Worn out boots, scars and truths picked up along the way
The light and the dark we left behind
Things we did and can’t undo, words we can’t unsay
May they teach us to be kind

Now I know that you were always near
And shed a tear every time you watched me fall
Though the way ahead never did get clear
I guess we made it after all
