The Long Way Lyrics

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

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]

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...
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
Whoa-Whoa, I'll never know
