Long Way Out

Long Way Out Lyrics

So it's over now
And we don't need to end it how
We think we should
Think about how long it's taken for me to feel comfortable around you naked
Why throw that away?
If you're leaving, that's fine
I know i can't change your mind
Why can't we still fool around sometime?

I wanna take the long way, long way out
I wanna take the long way, long way out

All this time we mullin' about
Wondering if we could make it without, one another
I should've worried, worried more
When you took my prizes back to the store
And ya, you threw all my cards away
Maybe you can keep the dog (keep the dog)
That old mut always liked you better
Now all my friends say "forget her" but i can't

I wanna take the long way, long way out
I wanna take the long way, long way out
We can take the long way, long way out
We can take the long way out

Its not my intention of making you upset
But at this point, i'll take what i can get you all night
You are my best friend and i'm asking you...
(long way, long way out)

Then the phone rings at 2am, 4am, and 5am
Its just me not wanting to be alone again
Why does everyone love me but you?

I wanna take the long way, long way out
Take the long way out
We can take the long way
Take the long way
Take the long way out

Take the long way
Long way, long way, long way out
We can take the long way, long long way out
Whoa! na na na na na na
We can take the long way, long way...
(long way X 3)
