Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

You put on a face for every person that you meet

Smiling through the crowd along the busy street

But when the lights go down and nobody's around

You're the only company you've found

[chorus]

So you take the long way home

You take the long way home

Nobody's waiting, nobody's on the phone

So you take the long way, take the long way home

[verse]

They call you clown, they call you comic relief

Never asking how you're feeling underneath

Everybody wants a laugh, nobody wants the truth

So you keep it hidden like you did since you were youth

[chorus]

So you take the long way home

You take the long way home

Nobody's waiting, nobody's on the phone

So you take the long way, take the long way home

[bridge]

Maybe one day someone's gonna see the man behind the mask

Maybe one day someone's gonna finally ask

Until they do you'll walk the streets alone

And every night you'll take the long way home

[chorus]

So you take the long way home

You take the long way home

Nobody's waiting, nobody's on the phone

So you take the long way, take the long way home

## Lyrics
[verse]
You put on a face for every person that you meet
Smiling through the crowd along the busy street
But when the lights go down and nobody's around
You're the only company you've found

[chorus]
So you take the long way home
You take the long way home
Nobody's waiting, nobody's on the phone
So you take the long way, take the long way home

[verse]
They call you clown, they call you comic relief
Never asking how you're feeling underneath
Everybody wants a laugh, nobody wants the truth
So you keep it hidden like you did since you were youth

[chorus]
So you take the long way home
You take the long way home
Nobody's waiting, nobody's on the phone
So you take the long way, take the long way home

[bridge]
Maybe one day someone's gonna see the man behind the mask
Maybe one day someone's gonna finally ask
Until they do you'll walk the streets alone
And every night you'll take the long way home

[chorus]
So you take the long way home
You take the long way home
Nobody's waiting, nobody's on the phone
So you take the long way, take the long way home
