¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
They call me Old Jack, out past the light
A ship full of ghosts in the endless night
I crossed some lines just to stay alive
Paid every cost so love survived
(Pre-Chorus 1)
I did what I had to, I carry the blame
Some things you do never leave your name
(Chorus)
I took the long way home
So my Cowboy could live
I took the long way home
Gave all I had to give
If love’s a fire that burns alone
Then let it burn—I took the long way home
(Verse 2)
I met myself where the timelines bend
He said I’m not a monster, just a broken man
He said he’d do the same if the world fell through
That’s when I finally knew
(Pre-Chorus 2)
You don’t survive without losing parts
You don’t save a world without breaking hearts
(Chorus)
I took the long way home
So my Cowboy could breathe
I took the long way home
So Jack could still believe
If love’s a fire that burns alone
Then let it burn—I took the long way home
(Bridge)
One last kiss at the end of time
I said, “You are mine”
Then I let go
(Final Chorus)
I took the long way home
So my Cowboy could live
I took the long way home
Gave all I had to give
If love’s a fire that burns alone
Then let it burn—I took the long way home
