Verse 1]
That old map’s torn where the creases bend
But you laugh and say, “We’ll get there in the end”
The petrol light blinks like it's daring us to stop
But we kept on going when the tire popped
We’ve slept in cars, we’ve smiled through storms
Ran laughing through the forest though our clothes got torn
Every detour, every slow lane crawl
Felt lighter ‘cause I didn’t ride it all alone
[Chorus]
It’s a long way home
But it’s shorter when I’m with you
The mountains are hills, And the valleys are flat
and the storm clouds are blue
The hard part fades when I see your face
it's something I never wanna replace
It’s not just a road, it’s the path we choose
And it’s easier ‘cause I’m with you
[Verse 2]
We’ve turned back just to take in the view
Of a lake with a beautiful sunset or two
You hummed a tune with the windows down
Said, “Let’s leave our life in the lost and found”
We passed through towns where the lights were low
Windows boarded, but with stories to show
You don’t carry me, we walk side by side
Through valleys deep, crossing oceans wide
[Chorus]
It’s a long way home
But it’s shorter when I’m with you
The mountains are hills, And the valleys are flat
and the storm clouds are blue
The hard part fades when I see your face
it's something I never wanna replace
It’s not just a road, it’s the path we choose
And it’s easier ‘cause I’m with you
[Bridge]
Not every mile needs a milestone sign
Sometimes it's enough to just make the climb
And when the tires wear out and the engine fades
I know I’d choose this road again and again
[Chorus]
It’s a long way home
But it’s shorter when I’m with you
The mountains are hills, And the valleys are flat
and the storm clouds are blue
The hard part fades when I see your face
it's something I never wanna replace
It’s not just a road, it’s the path we choose
And it’s easier ‘cause I’m with you
[Chorus]
It’s a long way home
But it’s shorter when I’m with you
The mountains are hills, And the valleys are flat
and the storm clouds are blue
The hard part fades when I see your face
it's something I never wanna replace
It’s not just a road, it’s the path we choose
And it’s easier ‘cause I’m with you
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home
