The Long Road Lyrics
Some walk alongside for awhile and then go
I think back on them as the days go by
The roads we took were different in this life
Then it was gone
And when a woman takes your heart
The only thing left is a song
Seemed to last so long while the good ones when so fast
But the best times i remember them most of all
They'll stay with me forever
They'll be there till the end of the road
But in the middle of the night
When you're alone with the pain-
Sometimes its not enough and your on your own
There's just one thing that saved my life
And as the sweet muse sent the music
I held on to my guitar all night
The winter stars above the Wyoming snow
Everything in between, well it's been a long ride
Wouldn't trade anything under the sky
This song is soo amazing. It reminds me a lot of "In the Orchard" off Power of Moonlight. Nick's voice is so beautiful, and I could listen to this song over and over.
To me this is just a really intimate song about his life. He's getting older, and looking back on past relationships - realizing that for the most part he's been alone and probably always will be kind of a loner. There's been good times and bad, but he has so many memories and true friends that will always be with him, and when those things aren't enough and he still feels depressed, he has the one thing that makes him truly happy - his music - to keep him going, and he wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.
If you've ever seen Tiger Army live you can see this in watching Nick perform. He always seems so at home on stage, and I think he is such an amazing musician. <3 txaxnxd

I love this part:
"There are some friends who've walked along with me They'll be there till the end of the road But in the middle of the night When you're alone with the pain- Sometimes its not enough and your on your own"
I have true friends that I really love and who love me. But they can't help me with the pain of loneliness when I lie alone in my bed and can't sleep because my thoughts and my heart are with that special someone.
this is the song that got me into tiger army so hardcore, on friday night, i was at this chicks house that i met the day before, and we were fooling around and i accedentally hit repeat and this was the onlysong playing while we were doing... yeah anyways i fell inlove with the band instantly
It sounds like he's saying "we once drank from the well of youth"
but I could be mistaken
And when a woman takes your heart the only thing left is a song been there too many times.
