we run in circles long distance 
we can't get lost in town like this
with all the same stores everywhere 
in the same squares

the light pollution fills our cells
we pick our battles but don't pick well 
we run ourselves to death
we're nowhere yet

++++++++++++++++++++

take the long way home
take the wrong roads
take the long way home
take the wrong roads

++++++++++++++++++++

if you were a friend
you'd let them know that
we just couldn't stand
to stay here anymore

so please don't feel like
you need to pretend
you don't want us to go

sell all your things
we just won't need them
whatever we bring
will only weigh us down

if you're a friend
you'll tell them all that
we just couldn't stand
to stay here in this town
anymore 

++++++++++++++++++++

take the long way home
take the wrong roads
take the long way home
take the wrong roads
take the long way home
take the long way home
take the long way home
take the wrong roads
