Long Way Down

Dark day in paradise
Tantalized by my eyes mislead
This one you've got to see
And her gaze, it is set on me

Not like I would push the brink
But it sure makes me think

Maybe I need a change
Otherwise would my eyes so stray
A choice is taunting me
And it knocks on my door today

Not like any vows were bent
Just a glance, it's innocent

Long way down
Don't you think you're too close to the edge
Turn around
Some wounds are so deep, they'll never mend

Take it from me, it's never worth the cost

Been down that road before
And demise is where it leads
The grass looks emerald green
But believe me, it's just the weeds

Not like I have crossed the line
Owed her a lunch and a valentine

It's propagation man
Don't you know that a guy has needs
What separates us then
From those things that are scratching fleas?

Am I just a sounding board?
Were you hoping for accord?

Long way down
Don't you think you're too close to the edge
Turn around
Some wounds are so deep, they'll never mend

Take it from me, it's never worth the cost
I just cringe thinking what I could have lost
It seems you're looking for consent to do the same

Where's your memory? Don't you remember me?
The weight of agony that crushed me flat
Are you impervious or just too curious?
Don't you remember what it did to the cat?

Guess what I did today
Now I fear there's no turning back
Hey, next time you need advice
Check the zodiac

Not like I didn't warn
Buckle up, enjoy the storm

Long way down
Don't you think you're too close to the edge
Turn around
Some wounds are so deep, they'll never mend

Long way down
Don't you think you're too close to the edge
Turn around
Some wounds are so deep, they'll never mend

Long way down
What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be, my friend?
Turn around
Some wounds are so deep, they'll never mend

Long way down
What's it gonna be, my friend?
Turn around
