We took the longest way we knew would take us home to bed
but not to sleep
hand in hand we listened to the city streets accompany us
as we hid from city spies
They walk our beat they haunt these streets and so.
We took the long way home.
I left you there, with a promise that we'd speak again
and I left more there than I ever wanna leave again, anywhere
I've spent so many shitty weeks on other city's streets
and I know New York is where we should be
because it's such a long, long way home
when you're so far from home
Well it's broken
I broke it
We make these promises in confidence that our hearts will never change
but a promise just isn't a promise anymore
when there's no one to keep it to
San Francisco's so far away and I've got no one and nothing to blame
but me
I was searching for magic and passion in 3rd and 4th chances before
I had to leave, and before we got to see
if this is the love that you read about
if these are the things that you dream about
if this is the drug you can't do without
and if this is the love that you'll never doubt
