New Empire – Long Way Home lyrics

[Verse 1]
How do you say to slow down?
How can you stop and yell it out
When the carousel is moving so fast?
How can you stop a moving train?
Pause the stars to watch again
'Cause you missed them tonight?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever

[Chorus]
'Cause I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
And if I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me, with me

[Verse 2]
Given each day is a battlefield
Here I stand with my sword and shield
Waiting for your love to come home
And I will fight for your every word
From years of fighting for me first, for me first

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever, forever
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever

[Chorus]
'Cause I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
If I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me

[Bridge]
I've travelled far
Is it far enough for you and I to know?
The more I want, the less you take away
If you've ever lost, then you've ever loved
So I'll keep on walking
Keep walking until the end

[Chorus]
I only want what you want
And I only have what's yours to give
If I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me

[Outro]
And if I must take the long way home
I need you to walk with me
I'll take your time if you take these rhymes
And hold them in your heart forever
