Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

Will tomorrow keep it's promise  
No one here can say  
The past is all behind us  
And all we have is today  
And all we have is today  

Chorus

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
