Lyrics
[Verse 1] We missed the bus at quarter past eight So we cut through the park by the old iron gate Your shoelace loose, my coffee gone cold Still laughing like we already know [Pre-Chorus] No map in our pockets, no reason to wait A little bit late never ruined the day You look at me like the whole world is new And i know what we're gonna do [Chorus] We can take the long way home Turn the ordinary into gold No plans, no pressure, just let it roll We're young and we don't have to know Take the long way home Every small moment's ours to own With your hand in mine, i feel it most We're young and we don't have to know [Verse 2] We found a rooftop with a view of the trains Made up stories for the people below in the rain You drew a smiley face on my paper cup Said, "keep this day when the years speed up" [Pre-Chorus] No map in our pockets, no reason to wait A little bit late never ruined the day You look at me like the whole world is new And i know what we're gonna do [Chorus] We can take the long way home Turn the ordinary into gold No plans, no pressure, just let it roll We're young and we don't have to know Take the long way home Every small moment's ours to own With your hand in mine, i feel it most We're young and we don't have to know [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow brings a different view Maybe the years make the sky less blue But tonight is ours, and the night is wide So keep that smile right by my side [Final chorus] We can take the long way home Turn the ordinary into gold No plans, no pressure, just let it roll We're young and we don't have to know Take the long way home Every small moment's ours to own With your hand in mine, i feel it most We're young and we don't have to know [Outro] Take the long way, take the long way Home with you, home with you
