 It's a long way back  home,  to pack up and leave  again
 Together alone,  are you without  me again
 It's a long way back  home,  and a long way back  here again
 I should have  known,  that you would just  bleed again
 For the first time  I knew what  to do
 The first time  it's just me  and you
 Then the worst timing  I ever  knew
 I have  to go,  I already know
 It's a long way back  home,  to feel like I'm far  away
 And how should I  know,  what goes on here  anyway?
 For the first time  I knew what  to do
 The first time  it's just me  and you
 Then the worst timing  I ever  knew
 I have  to go,
 You already know, why not  spend a week on a star
No time  he can't get there by car
When we  get some time on our own
We'll plan  out our next year  alone
 It's a long way back  home,  from just about anywhere
 'Cause once through the  door,  I'm not even halfway  there
 For the first time  I knew what  to do
 The first time  it's just me  and you
 Then the worst timing  I ever  knew
 I have  to go,  I already know
It's  a long way back home
 It's a long way back  home
