Outside it was cold as death.
But we were safe and warm
underneath the covers of your frameless bed
Underneath Christmas light glow
we were staring at the ceiling from your bedroom floor,
I thought that I was dead
I was wondering what I’d done
to deserve such a fate as wasting away in this place
CHORUS
What do I know about fixing things that are busted?
What do I know about way the things should be?
Who am I and what do I know
about who should love and who should go?
You know all these things.
You know me
Sometimes the times get rough,
we’re sorry when the words get tough
You know it’s hard to let things go
There’s nothing worth getting mad like this.
You touch my head and you kiss my lips
‘cause you already know
CHORUS --
We took the long way around.
We took the long way around
Sometimes it still feels like dying so dying can’t be that bad
CHORUS --
