[Intro]
\nThought I took a short cut…
\n(But)
\nI took the wrong way
\n(I took the long way)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nWill I ever make it home
\nOr am I destined to roam
\nTrying to find my way (in the dark)
\nSomething went astray (on my lark)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThought I took a short cut…
\n(… but…)
\nI took the wrong way
\n(I took the long way)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nTook the long way
\n(Can hear our song play)
\nTook the long way
\n(Till the end of the day)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nWill I ever make it back
\nOr does destination lack
\nTrying to find my way (in the dark)
\nMaybe today (I’ll make the mark)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nThought I took a short cut…
\n(… but…)
\nI took the wrong way
\n(I took the long way)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nTook the long way
\n(Can hear our song play)
\nTook the long way
\n(Till the end of the day)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nThought I took a short cut…
\n(… but…)
\nI took the wrong way
\n(I took the long way)<\/p>\n
