The Long Way Around

Thirteen more 'til midnight, still alone
What's so wrong
You feel you've lost sight
Or maybe you've never known
Go on and kill that porch light, like no one's home
It's been so long
All the rest have found their way
But you're worn to the bone

Oh, you heartless night
To steal the dreams of one so true

I can't believe that time has gone and left us here
Don't despair
Go on and take the longer road
You're not gonna disappear
Don't worry 'bout the time you take
Just love while you're here

It ain't like you got lost and you were never found
Maybe you just took the long way around

Oh, you heartless night
To steal the dreams of one so true

Thirteen more 'til midnight, still alone
What's so wrong
You feel you've lost sight
Or maybe you've never known
But those who love you still are here
Where ever you roam

And we'll all wait for you on the far side of town
Wait here while you take the long way around
