Long Way from Home

from FALLING ON DEAF EARS by A. Y. Lee

/

about

this song is about reflection, often times we need to stop and look at where we are and try to remember how we got there.

lyrics

Tick Tock, the clock keeps tickin
Tick Tock, the clock keeps tickin
Tick Tock, the clock keeps tickin
Tick Tock, the clock keeps tickin

I took a short path to a long road
And was sure my destination was around the bend
But after a few miles and the darkness starts to set in
I realize there’s no path and I’m out here all alone

If I took 2 steps up and 2 steps back
I still won’t be where I started at,
I’m so lost oh I’m so lost
And if I walked a path bread crumbs in hand
I still won’t make it back to where I began
I’m so lost oh I’m so lost

How did I even get here, I’m such a long long long long way from home
How did I even get here, I’m such a long long long long way from home

I want my life back my old life back
(8x’s)

No one to blame, it’s just me
The silence rings, I’m listening
The thoughts that I had that once seemed so clear
But yet 1 wrong turn has brought me here.

If I took 2 steps up and 2 steps back
I still won’t be where I started at,
I’m so lost oh I’m so lost
And if I walked a path bread crumbs in hand
I still won’t make it back to where I began
I’m so lost oh I’m so lost

How did I even get here, I’m such a long long long long way from home
How did I even get here, I’m such a long long long long way from home

I want my life back my old life back
(8x’s)

How did I even get here, I’m such a long long long long way from home
How did I even get here, I’m such a long long long long way from home

The clock keeps tickin
The clock keeps tickin
