Long Way Back Home - Barenaked Ladies, David Leonard

It’s a long way back home

To pack up and leave again

Together alone

You without me again

It’s a long way back home

And a long way back here again

I should have known

That you would just bleed again

For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it’s just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew

I have to go

I already know

It’s a long way back home

To feel like I’m far away

And how should I know

What goes on here anyway?

Why not spend a week on a star

No time, he can’t get there by car

When we get some time on our own

We’ll plan out our next year alone

It’s a long way back home

To just about anywhere

'Cause once through the door

I’m not even halfway there

For the first time I knew what to do

The first time it’s just me and you

Then the worst timing I ever knew

I have to go

You already know

It’s a long way back home

It’s a long way back home
