Lyrics
The higher the mountain the harder the fall
Looking for blood at the scene of the crime
It’s been running in circles or nothing at all
For a long, long, long time

Boxing at shadows and listening at doors
Pushing the buttons and pulling the blinds
We haven’t been honest or clever or sure
In a long, long, long time
It’s been a long, long, long time

Funny how the heart of everyone
Is the part you’ll never know
Funny how the heart of holding on
Is letting go

The higher the mountain the harder the fall
Turning the corner and looking for signs
You leap in the dark while I wait for the call
It’s been a long, long, long time
Out of the furnace and into the flames
Holding a candle and crossing the line
We haven’t been playing with fire or rain
In a long, long, long time
For a long, long, long time
It’s been a long, long, long time

Funny how the heart of everyone
Is the part you’ll never know
Funny how the heart of holding on
Is letting go

Save me the last word

Been a fan for a long long long time and just found out about this song. Been listening on repeat for 2 hours now. What a banger

[therooster]

Brothers this song splits my heart into pieces I’m your age 63
It makes me think of so many loved family members and friends and we wasted so much time 😔
We won’t get to fix things they’re gone now .
This song is very special to me, Curt and Roland thank you 🙏💞

[beatrizazevedo]

Listening to this with a smile on my face, feeling in silent communion with those who created this song and the ones who appreciate it. Thank you Roland and Curt for continuing to being a reference of art that fullfills the heart. From the 80's to 2024 your songs have me feel young at heart. I'm 55 now.

[justingutube]

the chorus is one of the best of all times, damn, tears

[TeeKing]

Gentlemen, you are both the sounds of my youth and of my golden years. Your music has moved and soothed me for a long, long time. 🤍

[crobilly]

This album came out 2 months after I lost my fiancé...Every song made me hurt, made me feel and then showed me how to heal..I can never repay Roland and Kurt for this help..thank you guys...I love both of you
..

[mustelidify]

Curt's vocals on this are exceptionally good... love this one.

[Airam_]

Orzabal and Smith still the best in melody and songwriting the UK has to offer. Thank you for this wonderful song! 😊

[ermthewerm]

Damn, this album has real soul to it. I mean deep. It’s magnetic.

[cricritube]

One of the best bands of 80's still making the bests songs.

[lesleywarnock]

I was front row Center at Massey Hall for the Songs from the Big Chair tour 🖤🥰 the highlight of my young life was when Roland pointed to me and I looked around pointed to myself as if to say who me and he smiled and said yeah you! I couldn't believe it and I was walking on air probably for the next 5 years! I still think back to that night now I'm 53 and just how special an incredible musician made me feel 🖤

[jonteknik]

My favourite song for many years. Thank you.

[v.loveslaughter]

I have a newfound respect and admiration for these fine men and for their body of work. I've always considered myself to be a true fan, Badman song and lady bird being my faves., whale shout is iconic, sketches of pain sends me more... Now this... I'm humbled by its reverence, its simple complexity and one more time they leave me breathless and unable to stop listening ... Thank you Roland, thank you Kurt, you really have sowed the seeds of love in all you are, all you do and all you create.

[anthonythompson]

Can't wait to see you again.
Worth every dime

[ianlawrence]

Played this on my radio show...we are GenX Radio.... Absolutely went down a storm... You have done it again..

[strangewayfaringstranger]

Why doesn't this song have 4 million views? I never understand why the farther in an album you get, the less views songs get. This song is just as good as the others.

[Jet-okqm]

I was born in 85. And since I can remember, I grew up loving your music and that love for it hasn't faded. Your music didn't get old or worn out, I didn't grow tired of it. Even good songs; I've worn them out, but your songs never grew old to me. I can't explain it. But there are tears for fears songs that are a deep part of me & a time that was full and complete in my life.

[costalarissak]

What a production, my dears! My dad didn't make a mistake in only influencing me with good things, and Tears For Fears is one of those things!

[FryAndLeelaAndBender]

Dear Tears For Fears: both new albums were incredibly important in recent parts of my life. I cannot completely express how enjoyable has been these days listening to your music and connecting it with my inner feelings and emotions. Really appreciate your work.

Happy New Year 2025 for you both and your fans!!

[JimmyJaxJellyStax]
