Երգի խոսքեր
[Verse 1] You found a paper planet Beneath the library stairs A blue pin through the southern sea And pencil marks for where You said the world was smaller When folded in your hand So we drew a road from window glass To a far-off stretch of sand [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the tailor and the tree If the map gives up its secrets We can make up what we need Take the long way, slow and bright Turn the corners out of sight Every little wrong direction Could be exactly right [Verse 2] A woman sold old buttons From a wooden garden box One was shaped like half a moon One looked like a tiny clock You chose the green one laughing And pinned it to your sleeve Then a bus arrived with no clear sign But we climbed on just to see [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the tailor and the tree If the map gives up its secrets We can make up what we need Take the long way, slow and bright Turn the corners out of sight Every little wrong direction Could be exactly right [Bridge] At the river, paper planet Caught a breeze and sailed away We watched it cross the water Like it knew another way You held out your open fingers As if waving to a friend Some journeys need no destination To be worth the trip we spend [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the tailor and the tree If the map gives up its secrets We can make up what we need Take the long way, slow and bright Turn the corners out of sight Every little wrong direction Could be exactly right [Outro] You kept the green button I kept the empty page And somewhere past the river bend The road began again
