Nikki Naiser - The Long Way Lyrics

Takin' the long way to Sheridan
My feet up on the dash
Longing for how it was back then
Before my daydream crashed
Wooden poles lead us down the highway
Reminders of the past
How did we ever get so sideways
Our love was gonna last

I wanna know what's on your mind
You know I'm so afraid to ask
I'm safe suspended in this time
When you're not takin' me to task

Takin' the long way to Sheridan
Sun dancin' on the stream
I really need just a little time
Immersed within this scene
Frozen fields of sage and dry grasses
Are sparklin' with the frost
And every endless mile that passes
Reminds me what we've lost

I wanna know what's on your mind
You know I'm so afraid to ask
I'm safe suspended in this time
When you're not takin' me to task

You're comin', I'm goin'
Just passin', not knowin'
You're comin', I'm goin'
Far as we can see
This road keeps stretchin' on

Takin' the long way to Sheridan
My hand rests on your thigh
Longing for how it was back then
You breathe the faintest sigh
The sun beats down through the cracked windshield
Our talkin' is all shut down
But the feelings your deep brown eyes reveal
They turn my head around

You're comin', I'm goin'
Just passin', not knowin'
You're comin', I'm goin'
Far as we can see
This road keeps stretchin' on

You're comin', I'm goin'
Just passin', not knowin'
You're comin', I'm goin'
Far as we can see
This road keeps stretchin' on
