The Long Way

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I drew a map across my ceiling

Four walls and a restless mind

Counted every crack and corner

Somewhere better I had to find

Packed a bag of almost-nothing

Told the mirror I would call

Pre-Chorus

And the hallway felt so narrow

Every doorway looked the same

I was chasing something borrowed

Learning how to say my name

Chorus

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'll take the long way

I'll take the long way

I'm not waiting on a sign

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Na-na-na

Oh-oh-oh

Na-na-na

Verse 2

Met a stranger at the station

Traded stories traded time

She said honey keep on walking

Till the walking feels like mine

Now I measure miles in mornings

Not in everything I lack

Pre-Chorus

And the highway hums a question

Every milepost asks me why

I was chasing something borrowed

Now I'm learning how to fly

Chorus

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'll take the long way

I'll take the long way

I'm not waiting on a sign

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Na-na-na

Oh-oh-oh

Na-na-na

Bridge

Slow down slow down

Let the quiet do its part

Slow down slow down

Every ending is a start

Drop

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'll take the long way

Chorus

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'm not waiting on a sign

I'll take the long way

I'll take the long way

I'm not waiting on a sign
