I have known of love, I have known the love I’ve met
I’ve been falling down, but I haven’t got there yet
And inside a little bedroom
On the third floor of a red-brick, green-doored flat
I have laid beside a queen
And not known a thing about where I’m at

But if you don’t mind, I won’t stay behind

I see lovers quarrel, I see ‘em dying on the street
They’ve got fire in their bellies
And they’ve got eyes and mouths and hands
And they’ve got feet
And I see them walking, I see ‘em leaving every day
I can’t be the only one that wakes up
Feeling like they lost their goddamn way

But if you don’t mind, I won’t stay behind

It’s a long way down
In this cold hard town
We get lost and found
Down the line

I remember all the time 

Why’d you want to go down easy?
Why’d you want to go down at all?

It’s a long way down
In this cold hard town
We get lost and found
Down the line

I remember all the time

Long Way Down
