Why'd you take the long way home?

I watched you walk slow past my window

Is that what you did it for?

I think it's best you left me alone

You know I'm bound to make you cry

From up here I can see the carlyle

I can see the louvre shining in your eyes

I never meant to set the world on fire

Just wanted something you'd remember me by.

But now I wish that I was on the bright side

These friends of mine could spend the whole night dreaming

While you're holding me tight under the moonlight

Just you and I, we'll lead a new life singing

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la...

You know, I think it says a lot

That I could wake myself up from this dream

Grab the things that are most dear to me

And although I could have loved you better

I had to get the fuck out of the bed

Cause there's just something about you my love

Something in the way you comb your hair

And fall apart at the seams

When you were young I used to throw you down

You'd show me how it feels to feel.

Oh god, I wish that I was on the bright side

These friends of mine could spend the whole night dreaming

While you're holding me tight under the moonlight

Just you and me, babe, we'll spend our whole lives singing

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la...

And look at you

And look at you

And look at you

And look at you.
