The Long Way Round

[Verse 1] You can't get me down I got the 'Things are looking up' blues I know it happens But it never sticks to my shoes It's been a long time coming I never thought it would last I think about the future Who knows what might have happened in the past [Verse 2] Nothing is real But it feels pretty good all the same I know you from somewhere But I can't remember your name I don't need much space But you don't have to step on my toes I was looking over there And all the time it was under my nose [Chorus] Yeah, I should have known Which way the wind was blowin' I was facing the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Post-Chorus] Never looking the right way Always going the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Synth Solo] [Guitar Solo] Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah [Post-Chorus] Never looking the right way Always going the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Verse 3] You can reel me in slowly and surely But there's a catch to this deal It's not over yet I get one more spin of the wheel I promised myself I would not get trashed again But the way I'm feeling right now That promise is going down the drain, yeah [Chorus] I, I should have known You were coming and I was gone I was facing the wrong way Always taking the long way round [Instrumental Outro]
