From the recording The Sunset Sessions Vol. 1
The first song we wrote together, at the beginning of the pandemic. We thought there was a long way to go at that time - little did we know how long!
Lyrics
Long Way to Go
Lazy days, we used to call them lazy days
We used to go crazy, navigating the maze
When we get a breather, we need to just breathe
When we find our mind is in a daze
Holidays, we used to go on holidays
Now it’s the backyard, where everyone plays (that’s okay)
When we need a breather, that’s where we can breathe
While we let the sun burn off the haze
Easy, got to go slow
Breezy is how the wind blows
What do we see?
What do we know?
Still got a long way to go
We’re off the track, but we’ll be fine
I got your back, you’ve got mine
Those were the days, the good old days
That’s how we remember whenever we change our ways
But after a breather, when we just breathe, again
Maybe there’s a better trail to blaze?
Easy, got to go slow
Breezy, let the wind blow
What do we see?
What do we know?
Still got a long way to go
