Lyrics
Everybody has a story, pages added to their history
You and I are together, I remember how it used to be
You’ve seen me muddle through the pain and mire
Rest on your chest when I feel expired
Inspiration to last our whole life
It’s been a long, long road
For the sweetest ride
It’s been a dragon’s tale
To find the butterfly
It’s been a long, long road
I want a sweet ride
I want to find out everything
With you by my side
When we met all my tears had been cried out long ago
I don’t expect I was alone in what it felt like letting go
But isolation isn’t freedom
The heartbeat of the underdog inside you
Stepping off the crag to the great unknown
It’s been a long, long road
For the sweetest ride
It’s been a dragon’s tale
To find the butterfly
It’s been a long, long road
I want a sweet ride
You take the weight off everything
You make me feel alive
I have waited for you so long you don’t want to know
Giving up on the promise of love I took it slow
When you finally held me in your arms
We spoke the language of the brokenhearted
Now you mean more to me than you will ever know
It’s been a long, long road
For the sweetest ride
It’s been a dragon’s tale
To find the butterfly
It’s been a long, long road
I want a sweet ride
I want to find out everything
With you by my side
