Long Walk Home - Citizen King

Is it a long walk home? Well do you have hand to hold Or are you just on your own Like we knew you were before I'll ask you over and over and over and over again Was it the way I dressed? Maybe just the way I spoke Was it all the interruptions, maybe all the hearts I've broke? I'll ask you over and over and over and over again Please just come back, love. And I am down and out Feeling like I'm always wrong And the sun won't leave these clouds He can buy you all those pretty things, those diamond rings and such He can tell you that he loves you but he can't mean it as much Still you'll sing Ooooohhh da da da da daaah da da da daah He'll sing Ooooohhh da da da da daaah da da da daah Why does it feel so hard Just to find a little love these days? Every single girl I'm with, well none of them feel the same. I'll ask you over and over and over and over again Well I'll ask you over and over and over and over To come back, love Cause I am down and out Feeling like I'm always wrong And the sun won't leave these clouds He can buy you all those pretty things, those diamond rings and such He can tell you that he loves you but he can't mean it as much Still you'll sing Ooooohhh da da da da daaah da da da daah She'll still sing Ooooohhh da da da da daaah da da da daah She'll still sing Ooooohhh da da da da daaah da da da daah She'll still sing Ooooohhh da da da da daaah da da da daah I'll ask you over and over and over and over And over and over and over and over Da da da da daah Da da da da daah Da da da da dadaah Da da da da daah da da da da daah da da da da daah

Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road tonight Make a left by the corner store, go somewhere we've never been before We, we got plenty of time There's a place by the lemon trees we can sit all night making memories With the stars in our eyes It's getting late, but I'm still wide awake I just can't hit the brakes with you Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road, every moment's holy Baby, I've been waiting all my life to waste my time on you Take the long way home tonight Golden hour's afterglow, Fleetwood Mac's on the radio Singing sweet little lies Seats pulled back, and the moon is low, time moves fast, but we take it slow Now the world's outta sight It's getting late, but I'm still wide awake I just can't hit the brakes with you Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road, every moment's holy Baby, I've been waiting all my life to waste my time on you Take the long way home tonight (Long way home) I'm gonna take the long way home I'm gonna take the long way tonight Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road tonight

I will retire to the Salton Sea At the age of 23 For I'm starting to learn I may never be free But though I may never be free Fuck you and your money I'm tired of your money And I sit on the curb 'cause it's the prettiest night With no one else in sight You know I wore this dress for you These killer heels for you See the dark, it moves With every breath of the breeze

We both fell asleep on the floor, then I left you there You spent so many days alone, so I'll kill myself to make things fair See I just hated being tired cause I can't seem to sleep anymore You and all your friends were all right about me all along Do you sleep anymore? And I would love to be patient, but I just won't wait I'm getting sick and tired of the smile that I fake every day Now I would love to speak my mind, but I can't think straight And I would love to feel alive again, but I'm not used to change Do you sleep anymore? And if it make's you feel better, I'll be on my way And all this time I sit around and think, but there's nothing to say And if you want to feel better, I'll stay out of your way And I would love to feel alive again, but I guess that can wait Do you sleep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? Do you sleep anymore? Do you sleep anymore?

We are moving slow Deep into the night, hereafter falls I am keeping close, close to nothing Let the mallet swing through the fire I see your face staring back at me You know I turn to you for self abusing All of our ears to the floorboards My eyes are falling everywhere I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our home? We are moving slow I am a pawn in every step you take Illusion wraps me up, keeps me guessing You put my back to the wall Somehow that wasn't enough I'm the result of what you never were All of our ears to the floorboards My eyes are falling everywhere I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our All of our ears to the floorboards There's nothing left for anyone I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our home? If I'm in pain then you, you must be too Are we on our way back down? Into delusion we will go to stare at a glimpse of hope Make me more assured, to clean my wounds My flickering thoughts; all wrong Into delusion we will go to stare at a glimpse of hope You put my back to the wall Somehow that wasn't enough I'm the result of what you never were All of our ears to the floorboards My eyes are falling everywhere I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our All of our ears to the floorboards We peel them back forevermore I know who is in the backyard But who's that living in our home?

Forced to get used to a habit Stab the face of who you think you are I'll embed my world in cement I shook the hand of all my wants Steal my words "Dive into my sun. I was once your mother, but I have come undone." I'm conditioned well A sliver from my lovers, something I hold on to Push your nightmare into my brain Deface my youth for what you want I'll throw my bricks into fragile cells Suppress the ones you love to overcome Lie to me Damage me Lie to me Damage me Welcome to my purge A swinging cordage pulls me into a sea of ruin Pick apart my world Strip me from my weakness Shine a light on my substance
