Long Way Off

[Verse 1]
The smartest men, they built a rocket
Aimed it at a target far, far, far away
But by the time they knew they lost it
It was a long way, was a long way, was a long way
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off

[Verse 2]
The smartest men, they saw a world with
Corners and endings far, far, far away
But when they drew it out and searched it
They were a long way, were a long way, were a long way
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way

[Hook]
Hm-m-m-m
Hm-m-m-m
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off

[Verse 3]
The erudite composed a thesis
Everything we see is all, all, all there is
But as an apophatic mystic
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off

[Hook 2]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way
We’re a long way, ?with always?, we're a long way
We’re a long way, we’re a long way, we’re a long way off

[Outro]
When the waves of time
Wash the shores stark clean
Of the memories, the last of me
With my castles gone to the constant sea
Will you stay with me
Stay with me
