From Dallas to the underground
High above and down below
Places I was scared to go
You sang it loud in case they heard
Hangin' on to every word
Gentle as a lullaby
Firecrackers in your eyes
CHORUS:
And I would give anything
For one more night to run
For one last song to sing
You weren't askin' much at all
Just catch you when you fall
On your own, the long way home
What's that sadness in your smile
You've been cryin' all the while
Could you lean upon my shoulder
I guess you'd die to just get older
So what are we supposed to do
Just walk around forever blue
And all this hurry up and wait
Was it chance or was it fate?
CHORUS
You weren't askin' much at all
Just catch you when you fall
On your own, the long way home
Ramblin' boy you been around From Dallas to the underground High above and down below Places I was scared to go You sang it loud in case they heard Hangin' on to every word Gentle as a lullaby Firecrackers in your eyes CHORUS: And I would give anything For one more night to run For one last song to sing You weren't askin' much at all Just catch you when you fall On your own, the long way home What's that sadness in your smile You've been cryin' all the while Could you lean upon my shoulder I guess you'd die to just get older So what are we supposed to do Just walk around forever blue And all this hurry up and wait Was it chance or was it fate? CHORUS You weren't askin' much at all Just catch you when you fall On your own, the long way home Explain Request ×
