Long Way ’Round Lyrics by Luke O’Shea

2021

[Verse 1: Ashleigh Dallas]
Hear people sayin' that life's so tough
That they're so strung out
Runnin' 'round in a mad rush
We've forgotten how to slow it down
How to take a deep breath and have a good look around
Don't believe 'em when you hear 'em say
Things were so much better back in the old days
There's nothin' greater than the here and now
So just take my hand, join me on the long way 'round

[Verse 2: Luke O'Shea]
If you and I were just floatin' through space
And there ain't nothin' more amazin' than this human race
Everybody hеre has got the light inside
But it gеts shot down, we get caught up in the lies
Don't believe 'em when you hear 'em say
Their God's the true God because they pray in a certain kinda way
Just look for love, girl, that's where it's found
So take my hand and join me on the long
The long way 'round, oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The long way 'round, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus: Luke O'Shea & Ashleigh Dallas]
And when you feel like givin' up
Everybody tries, but there ain't no shortcut
Just keep on dancin', we'll get it right
And maybe some day we can make it to the bright white light
The bright white light, oh-oh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge: Luke O'Shea & Ashleigh Dallas]
Hey
'Cause when it's dark and the road gets hazy
Just promise to remember that the world is **** crazy (Whew)
Nobody here knows where we're bound
So just take my hand, and join me on the long way

[Chorus: Luke O'Shea & Ashleigh Dallas]
And don't believe 'em when you hear 'em say
That things were so much better back in the old days
There's nothin' greater than the here and now
So take my hand and join me on the long way 'round
The long way 'round, woah-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Outro: Luke O'Shea]
Yeah
