Lyrics Robert DeLong

Robert DeLong

Long Way Down

I've been fucking around while you've been saving the world

I've been out of my mind

I've been dreaming things and scheming things

I've been smoking the poison

You've been slinging your anecdotes

I've been fucking around while you were saving the world

From nothing

The end, the end

Things will never go our way

In the end, the end

Things will never go

So take it in, don't hold your breath

The bottom's all I found

We can't get higher than we get

On the long way down

On the long way down

On the long way down

Burning night in my eyes, blinding me from the truth

If there's a shadow in me

The dark is a tidal wave inside of you

Taking shots at communion

Getting drunk on your antidote

I'll save you a seat next to me down below

The end, the end

Everyone will go away

In the end, the end

Everything will go

So take it in, don't hold your breath

The bottom's all I found

We can't get higher than we get

On the long way down

On the long way down

On the long way down

Oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh (4x)

On the long way down

On the long way down, down, down

So take it in, don't hold your breath

The bottom's all I found

We can't get higher than we get

On the long way down

On the long way down

On the long way down

So take it in, don't hold your breath

The bottom's all I found

We can't get higher than we get

On the long way down

On the long way down

On the long way down
