I'm kicking that stone
Down your street alone
And the walls criticize where I have gone
I'm throwing that stone
Through your open door
And the halls seem to tell me I am wrong

I'm taking the long way home
Where everything's overgrown
Just like a boy trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday

Remember that wall
Where we used to hide?
And the world seemed so dark and cold outside
Remember that field
Where we used to kiss?
And the rain washed away our secret list

I'm taking the long way home
Where everything's overgrown
Just like a boy trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow
I'm taking the long way home
Whatever [bad word] and go
Just like a boy trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday

Nobody's home
And I feel lost inside
There's a clock counting down what's left of time
When you're alone
It's easy to hesitate
Like a girl listening to her heart break

I'm taking the long way home
Where everything's overgrown
Just like a boy trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday

I'm taking the long way home
I'm taking the long way home
I'm taking the long way, long way
Long way home

I'm taking the long way home
Whatever [bad word] and go
Just like a boy trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
