Atlas & The Light - The Long Way Round

Intro

Verse 1

We chased the horizon out past the signs

Maps folded up, leaving plans behind

Miles in the mirror, dust on the dash

Some things are made to never last

Pre-Chorus

We got lost more times than I can count

But every road led somewhere

Chorus

Every wrong turn

Brought me here somehow

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

All those closed doors

And the bridges I burned down

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

Verse 2

There were nights I swore I'd gone too far

Following headlights and fading stars

But every mistake, every bend in the road

Added another line to the story I told

Pre-Chorus

Funny how the view gets clearer

Looking back from here

Chorus

Every wrong turn

Brought me here somehow

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

All those closed doors

And the bridges I burned down

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

Bridge

No regrets, no rewrites

No wishing for another life

The road was rough, the road was wild

But it led me to this moment

Chorus

Every wrong turn

Brought me here somehow

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

All those closed doors

And the bridges I burned down

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

Instrumental

Chorus

Every wrong turn

Brought me here somehow

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

All those closed doors

And the bridges I burned down

I'd take the long way round

If I knew then what I know now

Outro

The long way round

The long way round

Turns out the detour was the destination found.
