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 believe, yeah, there's 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
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, yeah, 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 make something happen?
Honey, that's the long way round
I got a life I should be leading
I cannot believe, yeah, there's something I 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
