Long Way Home

(hmmm) "Just got back... took the scenic route."

Rain on the high-rise glass

The driver took the long way past

Watching the taillights blur

Making plans I'll surely defer

By morning it will fade to gray

Every promise that I made today

Just a collector of a lonely view

Writing maps I won't follow through

(ooh-ooh) Ah,

we'll cancel it all by the dawn

(yeah) Ah, the scenic route's already gone

Lobby lights dim and cold

Another story left untold

I close the book and lock the screen

Lost inside the in-between

(mhm, by morning...) (ahhh)
