Longest Way Round

If I never left

How could I return

With all the lessons that I’ve learnt

Some of them blessings, others a curse

But they got me here

If maybe I’d known there was an easier way

Would I have grown and been open to change?

In the darkness I built flames that fought my fears

Maybe I was always coming home

I just took the longest way around

I surrendered myself

To become someone else

I broke out of my shell

To be here

Took the longest way around

When you grow you gotta climb for the light

And when you do there’ll be fruit on the vine

Cos I twisted and turned day and night

Took some time

My heart took a bruising to get here

But to lose is a grateful tear

Cos it rains and it pours then it gets clear

Now I’m here

Maybe I was always coming home

I just took the longest way around

I surrendered myself

To become someone else

I broke out of my shell

To be here

Took the longest way around

I got it wrong to get it right

With no regrets our love is no surprise

I got it wrong to get it right

With no regrets our love is no surprise

Maybe I was always coming home

And I just took the longest way around

I surrendered myself

To become someone else

I broke out of my shell

To be here

Took the longest way around

Took the longest way around

Took the longest way around

Maybe I was always coming home

I just took the longest way around
