Name: Long Way Down by Essmie
Duration: 3 min 22 s
Description: Blended concerns of wars and borders, separation from friends in the U.S., concern for all, came in a wild dream of funny and scary things. Sweetly sad and offbeat lyrics, light hearted melody. With bonus talking dog. From Canada with hope ♥.

We won a goldfish at the county fair
That pickled deep fry smell in our hair  
But when I leaned close for affection came a draft colder than steel
You nearly dropped our fish friend off the ferris wheel
We’re a lot alike you know we’re both out of our minds
You know the games are rigged but I’ll win you a prize
Although they curve the baskets and they leave the crosshairs blind
You throw a thousand rings and surly one’s just the right size 

But if the house is haunted and the ride is Dark
You know even Bruce knew the tunnel of love
Is a one way ticket to a life you’re stuck with
Tunnel vision aint nothing to fuck with

Then came the night after we’d fight you’d be the leader
We climbed the bleachers even though I’m wearing sneakers
But then I’d look in your horizon all the lights that catch your eyes in
I thought I knew you
We’re a lot alike you know we’re both out of our minds
You know the games are rigged but I’ll win you a prize
Although they curve the baskets and they leave the crosshairs blind
You throw a thousand rings and surly one’s just the right size 

But if the house is haunted and the ride is Dark
You know even Bruce knew the tunnel of love
Is a one way ticket to a life you’re stuck with
Tunnel vision aint nothing to fuck with
Odds you lose are and hundred to one every time
Bad news is delivered and is waiting to sign
Away your ticket, to a, life you’re stuck with
Tunnel vision aint nothing to fuck with

Tunnel Vision

Good Company

Good Ole Years

Lyrics

Do you remember that night... back in the Iveagh?
Those seagulls were flying... way over our heads

I had my arms... wrapped up around you
The stage lights they found you, you smiled back at me

I can feel it, something in your touch
You hesitate, I gave too much

Don’t stop to think, just be here
We live every hour with those fears

Not better alone, that much is clear
One day we’ll forget those tears

We’ll do it again, just to be near
Another lover, in another year

Later that night, we walked alone
The city noise blowin’, to us on the breeze

You told me about all the places you’ll go
The friends that you’ve known, the world that you see

I could feel it, something in your touch
You hesitate, I gave too much

Don’t stop to think, just be here
We live every hour with those fears

Not better alone, that much is clear
One day we’ll forget the tears

We’ll do it again, just to be near
Another lover, in another year

Send my regards, and all my best wishes
To the girl who still lives, in my memory

I really do hope, you still laugh the same way
Unashamedly happy, not afraid to be free
