Long Way Around

Eagle-Eye!
Kick the bass for the brothers
And let them know what's going on

You say what you say
And you pray that one day
You'll be seen between the shadows
Now that's a waste of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it don't
No, it don't even matter
Even saints make their mistakes

Letting their dreams fall and break
All it feels like
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
Now I want you to see
How good life can be
You can turn around
And better your life
With the good times found

People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

(To the beat y'all, I took the beat y'all)
(Come on y'all)

I'm not afraid of pride
When it's for the right side
Don't betray what I believe in
Stand where you want to stand
And I'll believe when I can
'Cause I'm telling you now
I been where you're living in

People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

Will tomorrow keep its promise?
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
And all we have is today
(Try one time) And all we have is today

Now, now
Don't quit it now (sunshine in)
Don't stop it now (let the sunshine in)
(Don't break, don't party now) Don't, don't
La-di-da-di, we like to party
Don't cause trouble, don't run in nobody
La-di-da-di, we like to party

People will always take the long way around (yes, yes y'all)
Before you know it you'll be lost and found (to the beat y'all)
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down (yes, yes y'all)
People will always take the long way around (don't quit, don't quit)

People will always take the long way around (yes, yes y'all)
Before you know it you'll be lost and found (to the beat y'all)
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down (yes, yes y'all)
People will always take the long way around (don't quit, don't quit)
