I'm kickin' that stone down your street alone
And the walls criticize where I have gone
I'm throwin' that stone through your open door
And the halls seem to tell me that I am wrong

I'm takin' the long way home, where everything's overgrown
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away, I regret tomorrow
I'm takin' the long way home whatever may come and go
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday

Remember that wall where we used to hide
And the world seemed so dark and cold outside
Remember that field where we used to kiss
And the rain washed away our secret list

I'm takin' the long way home, where everything's overgrown
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away, I regret tomorrow
I'm takin' the long way home whatever may come and go
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday

Nobody's home and I feel lost inside
There's a clock countin' down what's left of time
When you're all alone, it's easy to hesitate
Like a girl listening to her heart break

I'm takin' the long way home where everything's overgrown
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away, I regret tomorrow
I'm takin' the long, I'm takin' the long
I'm takin' the long way
I'm takin' the long way home

I'm taking the long way home where everything's overgrown
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away, I regret tomorrow
I'm takin' the long way home whatever may come and go
Just like the boy tryin' to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
