Lyrics:
We been gone for such a long time that I'm almost afraid to go home
A long road is a long, dragged-out imagination where things can go wrong
But we keep rolling on

I know I'm no doctor but if I was guessing I'd say it was just growing pains
And painful as growing is we can't forget it's our ticket to taking the reins
And we'll all be okay, we'll be okay

Dusty trails can lead you to a golden road, I've been told
Can't remember who it was but all she spoke
Will a penny for her thoughts leave me broke?
'Cause everyone's around and I'm still alone

Everyone's around right now and I'm still alone
It's all in the manual that we've been writing, a future instructional guide
If we skip to add to our prefulfilled dreams, we'd be lost without our own advice
We'll be alright, we'll be alright

Dusty trails can lead you to a golden road, I've been told
Can't remember who it was but all he spoke
Will a penny for his thoughts leave me broke?
'Cause everyone's around and I'm still alone
Everyone's around right now and I'm still alone

I'm halfway to misery
Some say when you go halfway there's still plenty of time to return
Oh, am I halfway to heaven?
Some may say when you go halfway, you only have halfway to go

Dusty trails can lead you to a golden road, I've been told
Can't remember who it was but all he spoke
Will a penny for his thoughts leave me broke?
'Cause everyone's around and I'm still alone
Everyone's around right now and I'm still alone

I love the way the split mic now acknowledges the height disparity :D

[MasonSheffield]

Y'all are one of those rare acts who are invariably better live than on a track. There's an emotional honesty in your performances that's always better left unedited.

[cuchelo]

It astounds me that these two incredible women aren't biological sisters. I've only heard this type of tight harmony/blending in acts like First Aid Kit. They don't just complement each other's tone/timbre, they move through the notes together like they've been singing beside each other since birth. It's truly breathtaking.

[accuser_of_the_brethren]

This one's such a banger. I've been listening to their 1st tiny desk concert forever now (over 5 years) but this version of this song specifically is amazing. As many times as I've watched/listened to this I never realized their mics are offset because they're different heights 😊 that's awesome.

[songbirde]

100+ times listening to this song I swear and it’s never not moved me so deeply and so simply. Unmatched.

[Guysmly]

This song feels like a warm cozy blanket for my soul.

I became aware of Lucious after seeing these 2 ladies with incredible harmony sing back-up for Roger Waters. I googled them, found their music and bought their CDs. It was a wonderful discovery and have forced my friends and co-workers to listen to them. Always looking forward to listening to their new work and look forward to the day the come back around to the San Francisco area!

I was first introduced to Lucius by a NPR | Tiny Desk Concert a number of years ago. This song was one of the standout moments at that time and then again now! 👏👏👏

[magdalenayepez]

One of my absolute favorites. They are so incredibly consistent, best harmonies out there

[vincentmagro]

I've seen them do this at the Peace center in Greenville, South Carolina. They were playing at the outdoor amphitheater that's part of the entertainment complex. When they did this song they came out in the audience and let the people surround them! I've seen over a thousand concerts, and I never seen nor experienced anything like this! Their singing was exquisite and the emotional output from them and the audience was almost overwhelming. I can hardly remember a time when I was so transported! Lucius is a national treasure for sure.

[paulelliott]

Beautiful song from two amazing ladies with wonderful voices

[teddymuldoon]

Beautiful vocals, innovative arrangements, skilled musicianship and highly emotional songs. ❤❤❤❤

[krollpeter]

That is near perfect, my goodness so beautiful

[amandafeliciano]

One of my absolute favorites, gorgeous girls!

[rubensloureiro]

Marvelous voices! What a band! Luv ya all since KEXP "Go Home" version in 2014! Please, come to Brazil, and PLEASE bring Brandi and JONI with you! God Bless your Souls and your Talent! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🎵🎤🇧🇷

[johnstinchcomb]

I love Lucius. Great band. Sweet people.

[ricksamericana]

I've been a huge fan of Lucius since San Femin's "Sonsick", before I even knew they were Lucius. Can't wait to see you again at Ohana.

[salvadormanuelgomezcaceres]

[dfinma]
