[Verse 1]
She was lost and I thought I was found
Even so I tried to bring her in
She was young and I had just begun
To learn that even losing men can win

[Chorus]
We went the long way
We went the long way
We went the long way...
Or maybe just the wrong way
I'll never know

[Verse 2]
Overnight we were shown the light
Neither of us knew to look away...
So we burned and far too late we learned
That lifetimes can't be lived out in a day

[Chorus]
We went the long way
We went the long way
We went the long way...
Or maybe just the wrong way
I'll never know
[Verse 3]
So goodbye, at least we made the try
Something can be said for love that's pure
If and when we ever try again
One thing will be known to us for sure...

[Chorus]
We'll go the long way
We'll go the long way
We'll go the long way...
Or maybe just the wrong way
I'll never know
Woah, woah, I'll never know
