[Verse 1]
We all live our separate lives, we're hanging on
To whatever keeps us hanging on
And every now and then you find and love someone
Someone that keeps you holding on

[Chorus]
In this life all we've got comes and goes
While it lasts, don't look back
Take the long way home
Where it leads, how it ends, we'll never know
Take my hand through the rain
Let's take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take the long way home

[Verse 2]
We all carry our own insecurities
If you love them, let them go
These streets, they hold and keep a million memories
Let's give 'em something, something they've never seen before

[Chorus]
In this life all we've got comes and goes
While it lasts, don't look back
Take the long way home
Where it leads, how it ends, we'll never know
Take my hand through the rain
Let's take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Let's take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, the long way home
Where it leads, how it ends, we'll never know
Take my hand through the rain
Let's take the long way home
[Outro]
Let's take the long way
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Take the long way home
Take the long way home
Take my hand, feel the rain
Let's take the long way home
