You said we'd be the Beatles, but that was just a lie
You were just a stoner and they were just the times
Life has gotten sweeter, but it's far less of a ride
At least when I was drinking, I'd show you a good time
So let's talk where we used to talk
Way out of sight till the bar runs dry
Some folks you should leave behind
Others you can't even if you try
We could get caught up in romancing
Honey, what's the chances we make something happen?
Honey, that's the long way round
I got a life I should be leading
I cannot wait
Believe in something I believe in
Honey, that's the long way round
You could've been a champion
I could've been a star
I could've been a lowlife
And that is what you are
And life keeps on moving
Further down the line
There's no reason to be wasting
Both our precious time
So let's talk where we used to talk
Way out of sight till the bar runs dry
Some folks you should leave behind

Way out of sight till the bar runs dry
Some folks you should leave behind
Others you can't even if you try
We could get caught up in romancing
Honey, what's the chances we make something happen?
Honey, that's the long way round
I got a life I should be leading
I cannot believe it
There's something I believe in
Honey, that's the long way round
We could get caught up in romancing
Honey, what's the chances
We'd make something happen
Honey, that's the long way round
I got a life I should believe in
I cannot believe it
There's something I believe in
Honey, that's the long way round
Of course I wanna taste it
But I don't wanna waste it
So you'll be a favor
Honey, that's the long way round
We could write down our intentions
And I'll forget to mention
That it's been a long year
Honey, that's the long way round
