Long Way Down

(album: Days Of Our Lives - 2004)

Sitting in the seat of my old Olds
Pretty city lights down far below
Sitting there soaking up all of the heat of the fire
You slide a little closer and whisper in my ear
Never even get around to opening those beers
Being here with you girl, nothing could get me no higher

[Chorus:]
It's a long way down
Baby, hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
It's a long way down
Scared i'm gonna fall without your loving arms around

Well, love for you is such a natural thing
You were born to spread those angel wings
Every time you touch me, swear I feel light as a feather
But it seems like every other corner I turn
There's another busted heart that's crashed and burned
Baby, just remember every time you take me to heaven

[Chorus]

So, tell me once again how high we're gonna go
Take me far away from the world below
We could be the few that make it all the way together
'Cause I could start this car and drive back into town
Land us both safe on solid ground
But after tonight, girl, you're gonna have to love me forever

'Cause it's a long way down
Baby, hold on to me
Never let me touch the ground
Yeah it's a long, long way down
Scared I'm gonna fall without your loving arms around
Yeah yeah yeah...

Yeah yeah, take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher, yeah...
