Long Haul Lyrics

Somebody told me if you live this way
Then it's a long, long haul
I wanna catch a love and make it stay
Oh it's a long, long haul
When you know darkness you can love a day
Oh it's a long, long haul
I've never seen it, I just talk this way
Oh it's a long, long haul

And you lie to us both
We are words, nothing holds

I wanna catch a love and make it stay
Oh it's a long, long haul
I'll draw a little joy now of this
Place before I get too old
I'll flee these troubled horses from this
Place within my troubled soul
And there is nothing, so far

If we are salt and earth and sun and stone
Then it's a long, long fall
To fixing trouble in a broken home
And if you won't, you won't call
When you can walk beside me past my past
Oh it's a long, long haul
I wanna catch a love and make it last
Oh it's a long, long haul
And you lie to us both
We are words nothing holds

I wanna catch a love and make it stay
Oh it's a long, long haul
I'll draw a little joy out of this
Place before I get too old
I'll flee these troubled horses from this
Place within my troubled soul
And there is nothing, so far

And nothing,
so far

I wanna catch a love and make it stay
I wanna catch a love and make it stay
I wanna catch a love and make it stay
I wanna catch a love and make it stay

haha, oh the fishing metaphor ...

That aside, he's just saying that he's trying to find the "one real love" that he's never even seen, but it's just a long haul -- it's a long wait, basically.

Help me out with the 2nd half?

"When you've known darkness you can't love the day; I've never seen it I just talk this way"

I think the guy's chasing this concept of love he doesn't really understand, and has never actually known.

"Enjoy little joy now of this" should be " I'll draw a little joy out of this"

Maybe.. he means that he would like to love but its very hard .. this is a very good song.

Cover art for Long Haul lyrics by Voxtrot

He is just going through life with all the darkness. Unless he can find true love he is left with the everydayness of life which is a long haul. All he wants to do is catch love and make it stay so he can "draw a little joy out of this place".

I interpreted this song ore on a day-to-day aspect rather than a relationship. It seems he wants to be able to love life for what it is. He can't grasp the beauty that is supposed to be in life, he want it all to come together, and it's not, so he's feeling as if life is just one "Long Haul."

sort of knowing love but not able to make it last. and once you know what it is your missing.. its a long journey to make it there again.. that happiness and such. its a song about patience.. waiting for that right person/relationship that will last. its beautiful and im sure everyone can relate.

Isn't it, "I want to catch your love and make it stay"? Now I read the lyrics here I'm not sure it is that but I'd kind of like it be..
