If I never left
How could I return
With all the lessons that I’ve learnt
Some of them blessings, others a curse
But they got me here
If maybe I’d known there was an easier way
Would I have grown and been open to change?
In the darkness I built flames that fought my fears
Maybe I was always coming home
I just took the longest way around
I surrendered myself
To become someone else
I broke out of my shell
To be here
Took the longest way around
When you grow you gotta climb for the light
And when you do there’ll be fruit on the vine
Cos I twisted and turned day and night
Took some time
My heart took a bruising to get here
But to lose is a grateful tear
Cos it rains and it pours then it gets clear
Now I’m here
Maybe I was always coming home
I just took the longest way around
I surrendered myself
To become someone else
I broke out of my shell
To be here
Took the longest way around
I got it wrong to get it right
With no regrets our love is no surprise
I got it wrong to get it right
With no regrets our love is no surprise
Maybe I was always coming home
And I just took the longest way around
I surrendered myself
To become someone else
I broke out of my shell
To be here
Took the longest way around
Took the longest way around
Took the longest way around
Maybe I was always coming home
I just took the longest way around
