I’m kicking that stone    Down your street alone    And the walls criticise where I have gone    I’m throwing that stone    Through your open door    And the halls seem to tell me I am wrong       CHORUS:    I’m taking the long way home    Where everything’s overgrown    Just like the boy    Trying to give it away    I regret tomorrow    I’m taking the long way home    Whatever may come and go    Just like the boy    Trying to give it away    I regret tomorrow more than yesterday       Remember that wall    Where we used to hide    And the world seemed so dark and cold outside    Remember that field    Where we used to kiss    And the rain washed away our secret list       CHORUS       Nobody’s home    And I feel lost inside    There’s a clock counting down    What’s left of time    When you’re all alone    It’s easy to hesitate    Like a girl listening to her heart break       CHORUS
