We're taking the long way home

Taking the long way home

Take me back to the middle of nowhere

Back to the place only you and I share

Remember all the memories?

The fireflies and make-believe

Kicking back in the old school yard

Singing songs on our guitars

This is our reality

Crazy stupid, you and me

We know this is the way it's supposed to be

So we're taking the long way home

'cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you,

Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby

So we're taking the long way home tonight

We're taking the long way home

We're taking the long way home

Taking the long way home

Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere

Yeah, you know we took our time to get there

We're hiding out in a dream

Catching fire like kerosene

And you know I'd never let you down

'til the sun comes up, we can own this town

Something like make-believe

Living in a movie scene

I know this is the way it's supposed to be

So we're taking the long way home

'cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you,

Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby

So we're taking the long way home

Hitting every red light

Kissing at the stop signs, darling

Green day's on the radio

And everything is alright

Now we're turning off the headlights, darling

We're just taking it slow

So we're taking the long way home

'cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you,

Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby

So we're taking the long way home

Hitting every red light

Kissing at the stop signs, darling

Green day's on the radio

And everything is alright

Now we're turning off the headlights, darling

We're just taking it slow

We're taking the long way home [x3]
