Letras de The Long Way - We Are The Union

The Long Way (original)

We were islands soaked in solitude
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through
Then I’d go back and take the long way with you
Warm cans of Steel Reserve in a basement
Sweat-stained singalongs and discontent
Bound together by not fitting in
Punk rock songs and teenage stress
We were freaks, we were kids, we were miscreants
We were islands soaked in solitude
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through
Then I’d go back and take the long way with you
In bars that reeked of piss and alcohol
Choking on mothballs in legion halls
Found a place where we belonged
With each other we were strong
We were kin, we were rebels lost without a cause
It’s a lump in my throat and a longing for the Mitten State
An infinite search for a past that I can’t recreate
We were islands soaked in solitude
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through
Then I’d go back and take the long way
We were islands soaked in solitude
Joined by the tide, we pushed back and we outgrew
If you told me the highway would wear your tires through
Then I’d go back and take the long way with you

(traducción)

Éramos islas empapadas de soledad
Unidos por la marea, empujamos hacia atrás y superamos
Si me dijeras que la carretera desgastaría tus llantas
Entonces regresaría y tomaría el camino largo contigo
Latas calientes de Steel Reserve en un sótano
Cantares manchados de sudor y descontento
Unidos por no encajar
Canciones de punk rock y estrés adolescente
Éramos monstruos, éramos niños, éramos malhechores
Éramos islas empapadas de soledad
Unidos por la marea, empujamos hacia atrás y superamos
Si me dijeras que la carretera desgastaría tus llantas
Entonces regresaría y tomaría el camino largo contigo
En bares que apestaban a orina y alcohol
Atragantarse con bolas de naftalina en los pasillos de la legión
Encontré un lugar al que pertenecíamos
El uno con el otro éramos fuertes
Éramos parientes, éramos rebeldes perdidos sin causa
Es un nudo en mi garganta y un anhelo por el estado de la manopla.
Una búsqueda infinita de un pasado que no puedo recrear
Éramos islas empapadas de soledad
Unidos por la marea, empujamos hacia atrás y superamos
Si me dijeras que la carretera desgastaría tus llantas
Entonces regresaría y tomaría el camino largo
Éramos islas empapadas de soledad
Unidos por la marea, empujamos hacia atrás y superamos
Si me dijeras que la carretera desgastaría tus llantas
Entonces regresaría y tomaría el camino largo contigo
