The last bus is leaving, but you're on the curb You wanted to run but you're lacking the nerve And motionless standing, you can't find a word
The tail lights are fading, your feet on the ground Your bags, like an anchor, are weighing you down You're moored to the future, you're stuck in this town
You turn to your left and I'm standing alone With a numbness that's lingering deep in my bones And it looks like you're gonna be coming back home
And there for a moment we're caught in a stare The city just stops while it hangs in the air I once would have saved you, but now I don't care
So I turn around and go And I turn around and go
Take another way, take another way, take another way, take another way Take another way home Take another way, take another way, take another way, take another way Take another way home
