Lyrics for The Long Cut

I've been searching You've been gone Out looking for the shortest path to the one that you're on And I've already seen all I want to see Come on, let's take the long cut I think that's what we need When we were younger, we were strong We felt a lot better than the things that we'd done Now if it's to be If you still believe Come on let's take the long cut I think that's what we need If you want to take the long cut We'll get there eventually I've been searching You've been gone Out looking for the shortest path to the one you're on And I've already seen all I want to see Come on let's take the long cut I think that's what we need We've been in a deep rut And it's been killing me If you want to take the long cut We'll get there eventually Eventually Eventually
