Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said, “Pack light, we’re leaving after school” Two paper cups and a borrowed pair of wheels The road bends where the old train line ends We don’t need a map to know how this feels [Pre-Chorus] No plan written down, no reason to wait The afternoon is opening the gate [Chorus] We can take the long way home tonight Turn a wrong turn into something right Windows down, let the warm air rush through Every little road leads back to you We’re not chasing where the day has gone We’re making our own way as we move on Take the long way, take the long way home We’ve got everywhere to go [Verse 2] A roadside market and a striped blue sign Peaches in a paper bag, your hand in mine We laugh so hard that we miss the last bus So we walk the rest, and that’s enough for us [Pre-Chorus] No clock on the dash, no reason to race The whole wide world is keeping our pace [Chorus] We can take the long way home tonight Turn a wrong turn into something right Windows down, let the warm air rush through Every little road leads back to you We’re not chasing where the day has gone We’re making our own way as we move on Take the long way, take the long way home We’ve got everywhere to go [Bridge] If tomorrow asks where we have been Tell it we were busy beginning again One more mile, one more turn, one more view I’ll remember every minute with you [Final Chorus] We can take the long way home tonight Turn a wrong turn into something right Windows down, let the warm air rush through Every little road leads back to you We’re not chasing where the day has gone We’re making our own way as we move on Take the long way, take the long way home We’ve got everywhere to go [Outro] Take the long way home Anywhere with you
