Take the Long Way

I think I'm on a roll, but maybe it's just mania?

I haven't been the same since I was thrown out of the stadium

I can't lie, I did some things I probably shoulda not

Somewhere in between a madman and a debutante

I been learning the hard way, I'm just trying to save some face

Feet don't fail me now

Pick me up and get me out

'Cause baby, I always take the long way down

C'mon and shoot me with some truth

I know hearts ain't bulletproof

Baby, I always take the long way down

I'm feeling like an alien

But maybe it's delirium?

Or one too many hits I've taken to my cranium

I can't lie, I did a number on myself again

But what's the difference between Jesus and an indigent?

I been learning the hard way, I'm just trying to save some face

Feet don't fail me now

Pick me up and get me out

'Cause baby, I always take the long way down

C'mon and shoot me with some truth

I know hearts ain't bulletproof

Baby, I always take the long way down

I'm learning the hard way, I been diggin' my own grave

Feet don't fail me now

Pick me up and get me out

'Cause baby, I always take the long way down

C'mon and shoot me with some truth

We know hearts ain't bulletproof

Baby, I always take the long way down

I think I'm on a roll, but maybe it's just mania?

I haven't been the same since I was thrown out of the stadium

I always take the long way down
