Jade Jackson - Long Way Home

[Verse 1]
Nine times out of ten, I'll take my own cab home
I thank him for the drinks and spend the night alone
But when I feel as high as my soul does low
The angel on my shoulder dares to show

[Chorus]
I take the long way home
I take the long way home
After all you put me through

[Verse 2]
Love is just a liar by another name
Lust is just a fire I've been tryin' to tame
I fuel it if I must, but keep the heat contained
It's the winds inside my heart that fan my flame

[Chorus]
I take the long way home
I take the long way home
After all you put me through
Yeah, I take the long way home
I take the long way home
Where I haven't gone is where you led me to

[Bridge]
Out here on this dark road, I'm not even sure
If I wanna make it to my door
Lately, it don't keep the peace
That I need to sleep anymore

[Verse 3]
Nine times out of ten, I'll write my number wrong
If I wasn't lonesome, how would I stay strong?
When depression's dark as the night is long
A pair of arms becomes where I belong

[Chorus]
I take the long way home
I take the long way home
After all you put me through
Yeah, I take the long way home
I take the long way home
After all you put me through
And I take the long way home
I take the long way home
What I haven't done is what you made me do

[Outro]
Nine times out of ten, I take my own cab home
I thank him for the drinks and spend the night alone
