The Long Way Home
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Streetlamps turn the pavement gold
I walk slower than I should
No one else is out tonight
Just me, thinking of you, Chad

[Pre-chorus]
I could take the quicker road
But I like this ache too much
It keeps building into something

[Chorus]
Chad, you're the thought I keep returning to
Every wet street leads me back to you
Some nights the whole world goes quiet
Chad, I'm glad it led me here to you

[Verse 2]
Rain has stopped but still it shines
Every window holds a light
You'd laugh at how I notice this
I never used to before you, Chad

[Bridge]
I'm not scared of the quiet anymore
Not when your name fills it up like that
Whatever this is, new or old or steady
I'll take the long way home to feel it

[Chorus]
Chad, you're the thought I keep returning to
Every wet street leads me back to you
Some nights the whole world goes quiet
Chad, I'm glad it led me here to you

[Outro]
The lamps still burn their steady gold
I'm nearly home, and glad, Chad
