the long way

Title: The Log Way (Intro) The long way to your heart Is the only way you show me to No shortcuts in the dark I’ll walk every road to you Yeah… yeah… (Verse 1) You don’t open up easy, I know Got your walls standing tall like stone Every time I get close, you go quiet Like you’re scared what you feel might show But I see it in the way you breathe When my name slips soft through your teeth You don’t gotta say you need me Your silence saying everything (Pre-Chorus) We could rush, we could fall apart Or take it slow, right from the start Brick by brick, we build this spark Baby, I’m patient in the dark (Chorus) The long way to your heart Is the only way you show me to No shortcuts in the dark I’ll walk every road to you Every tear, every scar Every truth you’re scared to lose If it’s the long way to your heart That’s the way I choose (Verse 2) I don’t mind if it takes all night Conversations under city lights Every story that you never told Every wound that you try to hide Let me learn every broken piece Every doubt, every memory I’m not here for a fantasy I’m here for your reality (Pre-Chorus) We could run when it gets too hard Or stay and face who we really are No pretending, no disguise Just your heart meeting mine (Chorus) The long way to your heart Is the only way you show me to No shortcuts in the dark I’ll walk every road to you Every tear, every scar Every truth you’re scared to lose If it’s the long way to your heart That’s the way I choose (Bridge) Love ain’t a race, no finish line It’s every moment, one step at a time If I gotta prove it day by day I ain’t going nowhere, I’ll stay Even when the road feels far I’ll be right where you are No matter how long it takes I’m here for your heart to break and remake (Final Chorus – Emotional Lift) The long way to your heart Is the only way you show me to Through the light and through the dark I’ll keep coming back to you Every tear, every scar Every dream you never knew If it’s the long way to your heart Baby, that’s the way I choose (Outro) No shortcuts… no running away If love’s a journey I’m here to stay The long way… The only way to you.
