longer than I thought

maybe I took the long way
and it took longer than I thought
it doesn't matter how I got there
does it matter than I'm here?

I didn't know what I was looking for
or what I was expecting to find
I guess I didn't think much about it
cause you were always on my mind

for a brief dream in time
I thought your love could be mine
but the fog finally dissipates
and clarity elucidates

the good-byes are getting easier
silence deafens my heart
and even though I just got here
I pack my bags to go back

maybe I took the long way
and it took longer than I thought
it doesn't matter how I got there
it doesn't matter that I'm here
