“Long Way Down” is the first song on the Goo Goo Dolls studio album “A Boy Named Goo,” which is best knownc for the hit song “Name.” Unlike Name’s gentle, quiet storytelling, “Long Way Down” uses its heavy instrumentals and fast pace to help the listener understand the gravity of the lyrics.
[Verse 1]
Oh, here you are
There's nothing left to say
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out?
Did they throw you away?
Touch me now and I don't care
When you take me, I'm not there
Almost human, but I'll never be the same
[Chorus]
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
[Verse 2]
I never put you down
I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want
There's nothing I could say
Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me
[Chorus]
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I never put you down
I never pushed you away
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to grey
[Chorus]
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down
I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down
I don't think I'll make it on my own
[Outro]
On my own
On my own
