The long way home

Soon we'll be dead and gone
Life's brief even when it's long
We've been going wrong
In our gilded cage
When life's great adventure waits, oh
 
Let's take the long way home
Cause life's not worth living without love
Let's take the long way home
Stop for a minute to catch up
 
We'll lose hope if we let it
You easily forget it
 
Life when we're looking back
Will be gauged by good times we had, not the chains we dragged
Carpe diem we
Should go
Make some memories, oh
 
Let's take the long way home
Cause life's not worth living without love 
Let's take the long way home
Stop for a minute to catch up
 
We'll lose hope if we let it
You easily forget it
 
Let's take the long way home
Cause life's not worth living without love 
Let's take the long way home
Stop for a minute to catch up
Let's take the long way home
And bask in the last rays of sun
Let's take the long way home
Just like the summers long gone. We'll lose hope...
