Everybody’s wanting to be my friend when I want to be alone
Everybody’s looking inside my heart, but I want it for my own
Taking the long road home, baby, I’m taking it slow
Taking the long road home, I’m tired of fakin’it

Everybody’s talking behind my back pretending to be my friend
Sometimes I’m crazy and sometimes not; will I make it until the end?
Taking the long road home, baby, I’m taking it slow
Taking the long road home, I’m tired of fakin’it, oh oh

I don’t wanna die of a broken heart as dreamers often will
Heaven help the people who try so hard when living is all uphill
Taking the long road home, baby, I’m taking it slow
Taking the long road home, I’m tired of fakin’it
Long road home, baby, I wanna go home
