Long, Long, Long Time (Live from Franklin, TN)

[Verse 1: Curt Smith]

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall

Looking for blood at the scene of the crime

It's been running in circles or nothing at all

For a long, long, long time

[Verse 2: Curt Smith]

Boxing at shadows and listening at doors

Pushing the buttons and pulling the blinds

We haven't been honest or clever or sure

In a long, long, long time

It's been a long, long, long time

[Chorus: Lauren Evans]

Funny how the heart of everyone

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

Is letting go

[Verse 3: Curt Smith]

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall

Turning the corner and looking for signs

You leap in the dark while I wait for the call

It's been a long, long, long time

[Verse 4: Curt Smith]

Out of the furnace and into the flames

Holding a candle and crossing the line

We haven't been playing with fire or rain

In a long, long, long time

For a long, long, long time

It's been a long, long, long time

[Chorus: Lauren Evans]

Funny how the heart of everyone

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

Is letting go

[Chorus: Lauren Evans and Curt Smith]

Funny how the heart of everyone

(Save me the last word)

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

(Save me the last word)

Is letting go

Funny how the heart of everyone

(Save me the last word)

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

(Save me the last word)

Is letting go

[Outro: Curt Smith]

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall
