lyrics

To walk the longest mile
And wear the strangest grin.
Is to know whatʼs it like to have to leave.
Embrace the pangs of your new life.
Embrace the spare change, thatʼs fallen to the wayside
Youʼve fallen to the wayside.

To walk the longest mile
To wear the strangest grin,
Is to know what itʼs like to have to leave

Why donʼt you, why donʼt you just drive,
The compass will correct us
Unless the trudge is forced
These thoughts are just compensation for us.

Donʼt, let me know.
Donʼt let me know.

Why donʼt you, why donʼt you just drive
Clamor for the right direction.
How could you feel alone?
Surrounded by an army of yourself.

Donʼt let me know.
Donʼt let me know.

To walk the longest mile
To wear the strangest grin
Is to know what it's like,
to have to leave.

Donʼt let me know.
