[Verse 1:]
I've been fighting shadows
My whole life
Struggling with what's wrong and what's right
Until I found my light
On a dark night

[Pre-Chorus:]
I've been
Been searching for nothing
'Cause I've been, I've been
More than enough for too long
I've been weary waiting but
The time is now

[Chorus:]
So I'll be on
My way back home
To find the girl
I used to know
I'll find where I belong
I'll be there
Even if I take the long way home
Even if I take the long way home

[Verse 2:]
Broken street lights is all that I know
But them streets ain't paved with gold
Far as I know
'Cause the children's spirits
Are stolen for power
Don't know their names
Or their faces, but they're ours
[Bridge:]
We've been
Searching for something
But we know
We've been
More than enough for so long...

[Chorus:]
So I'll be on
My way back home
To find the girl I used to know
I'll find where I belong
I'll be there
Even if I take the long way home (I'll take the long way home)
Take the long way home
Take the long way home (I'll take the long way home)
Take the long way home (I'll take the long way home)

[Other:]
Take the long way home
Take the long way home (I'll take the long way home)
