Long Way Home - Bonus

I'm flying backwards at the speed of sound
I lost my parents here in this old town
I made my mission and I know my way by now

I'm hanging on with every breath I take
It takes longer to reset myself each time I wait
But I have to tell you I need some home sweet home

I'm a long way from London but I still feel her air
I'm a long way from New York but I know she's still there
I stop off here in Paris
Have some breakfast in Rome
Just having to take the long way home (having to take the long way)
I'm having to take the long way home

Going nowhere at the speed of light
See by day I'm Mr. Perfect but can't sleep at night
And I need my pillow
And I need a helping hand

I'm a long way from London but I still feel her air
I'm a long way from New York but I know she's still there
I get lunch here in Moscow
Brush my teeth in Cologne
I'm just having to take the long way home (having to take the long way)
I'm having to take the long way home
So I'll take the long way home
I'll take the long way home
I'll take the long way home

I've got my ticket and I pack my bags
Stepping onto this old plane
I count but not think back
And I, this is what I dreamed of
And I, I'm a lucky man

So next time I'm gone for weekends you won't hear my pain
I'll enjoy all of these moments that'll go someday
And I, I'm on a mission
And I need to stick to plan

I'm a long way from London but I still feel her air
I'm a long way from New York but I know she's still there
I sing songs here in Rio
Dance in Boston in the snow
I'm just happy to take the long way home (happy to take the long way)
I'm happy to take the long way home
