"Long Way" lyrics - EDDIE VEDDER

His eyes appear vacant
He'd taken more than his share
Trying hard not to awaken
The voice of regret in his ear
He can't escape the timeline
So much worse than he had feared
Lived every moment
Wishing the past would disappear

[Chorus:]
He took the long way
On the freeway
He took the long way
On the freeway

She was his all and everything
But her strenght it needed space
Her love was but a haunting
She left but never went away

[Chorus:]
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway

[Instrumental]

[Solo]

[Chorus:]
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way

[Bridge:]
Well, it couldn't be had
What he wanted to hold
He dared to let go
He should've known

[Chorus:]
She took the long way
On the freeway
She took the long way
On the freeway

[Outro]
