The Long Game Lyrics by Della Mae

Headlight

2020

[Verse 1]
It don't make much sense at first glance
I'm nine years into a five year plan
I look around and all I see
Is how far I am from where I wanna be
[Verse 2]
Someone remind me again what I do this for
Ain't in it for my health, that's for damn sure
I know there's no guarantees
The thing worth doing never comes easy
[Chorus]
I'm only trying to play the long game
I'm only making my way through the pain
Up where the sun shines over the rain
[Verse 3]
I knew we had something when we first met
We've come so far but wе're not there yеt
When it feels like we're losing ground
We keep pushing 'cause we can't stop now
[Chorus]
I'm only trying to play the long game
I'm only making my way through the pain
Up where the sun shines over the rain
[Bridge]
I've got my eyes fixed on that horizon of light
I keep telling myself it's just a matter of time
[Chorus]
I'm only trying to play the long game
I'm only making my way through the pain
Up where the sun shines over the rain
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm only trying to play the long game
I'm only making my way through the pain
Up where the sun shines over the rain
