Long Way Home

It's not what we expected
It's not what we had planned
But maybe it is better
Than we can understand

Like finding one good reason
In a bottle on the shore
To everything, a time and season
Nobody's keeping score

But this is not how I thought that it would be
I'm waiting on some circumstance
To make me feel complete

Innocence, we pass it down
Like corduroy with the knees worn-out
I wanna take the long way home
The long way home

I'm driving in slow-motion (everything will have its season)
Over streets of 'might have beens' (but varied to the circumstance)
I put to rest reservations (not what you'd expected)
Let a new day begin

Oh, but this is not how I thought that it should go
It drags me around and around
The things I thought I should know

Innocence, we pass it down
Like corduroy with the knees worn-out
I wanna take the long way home
The long way home

Love is not efficient, even if it was

Innocence, lost and found
Like corduroy with the knees worn-out
I wanna take the long way home
Oh, and I wanna take the long way home
