[Verse 1] You found a paper boat Beneath the museum stairs A map inside its folded heart And salt along the edges there You traced the faded line Past islands drawn in blue Then wrote your name beside a place No one had sailed to [Chorus] Take the long way home tonight Follow where the ink runs thin Every wrong turn holds a door Every lost thing asks you in [Verse 2] The curator looked up From a box of broken keys He said, "That little ship was made For someone brave enough to leave" You smiled and shook your head But kept the map in hand Outside, the traffic changed its tune Like waves against the land [Chorus] Take the long way home tonight Follow where the ink runs thin Every wrong turn holds a door Every lost thing asks you in [Breakdown] No compass, no parade No promise carved in stone Just one small boat of folded white And a road you haven't known [Final Chorus] Take the long way home tonight Let the quiet pull you through If the map forgets the way Make a little world anew [Outro] You found a paper boat And gave it back the sea
