Lyrics
[Verse 1] You leave the window half ajar A paper boat beside the jar I trace the coffee ring you made And keep the little plans we saved [Pre-Chorus] If you turn back before the train I'll meet you where the rails divide No promises we can't explain Just leave a little room inside [Chorus] Come closer, take the long way home Let every mile become our own Your hand finds mine without a sound And all the scattered pieces settle down Come closer, we don't need to know Which way the quiet rivers flow Stay with me until the morning starts I found the map inside your heart [Verse 2] The laundromat is closing soon Blue shirts revolve beneath the moon You laugh because I lost the key Then slip your spare one back to me [Pre-Chorus] No perfect line, no grand design Just two small lives in honest light The world can wait outside the sign We've got this corner for tonight [Chorus] Come closer, take the long way home Let every mile become our own Your hand finds mine without a sound And all the scattered pieces settle down Come closer, we don't need to know Which way the quiet rivers flow Stay with me until the morning starts I found the map inside your heart [Bridge] When the first buses cross the avenue I'll still be choosing you Not for a promise carved in stone But for the way you make this place feel known [Chorus] Come closer, take the long way home Let every mile become our own Your hand finds mine without a sound And all the scattered pieces settle down Come closer, we don't need to know Which way the quiet rivers flow Stay with me until the morning starts I found the map inside your heart [Outro] Take the long way home Stay until the morning starts
