You try to be
Just the way you'd like to be,
But I can see it's gonna take some time.
You'd like to see
Things the way they used to be,
But this world just didn't turn out right.
So you're inclined to be
A face lost in a crowd.
Maybe I'm the lucky one.

But you -
You're taking the long way to heaven.
What's a man gonna do
When they're bringing it all home to you?

If the boys could see you now...
If the boys could see you falling.
They know you hear the sounds...
They know you're alone.
If the boys could hear you now...
To hear you tell your stories.
You could tell them how
It feels to come home again.

You -
You're taking the long way to heaven.
What's a man gonna do
When they're bringing it all home to you?
