Everybody’s wanting to be my friend when I want to be alone Everybody’s looking inside my heart, but I want it for my own Taking the long road home, baby, I’m taking it slow Taking the long road home, I’m tired of fakin’it Everybody’s talking behind my back pretending to be my friend Sometimes I’m crazy and sometimes not; will I make it until the end? Taking the long road home, baby, I’m taking it slow Taking the long road home, I’m tired of fakin’it, oh oh I don’t wanna die of a broken heart as dreamers often will Heaven help the people who try so hard when living is all uphill Taking the long road home, baby, I’m taking it slow Taking the long road home, I’m tired of fakin’it Long road home, baby, I wanna go home
