Lyrics
[Verse 1] You text, “Be ready,” I grab my keys Two coins rolling in the passenger seat No plan past the corner store But I know I want a little more [Pre-Chorus] Take the side road, miss the turn Let the afternoon stretch and burn Every nowhere starts to shine When your hand finds mine [Chorus] We can take the long way home Make a map out of the unknown Turn a wrong turn into a story Nothing has to be ordinary Oh, we’re moving, moving With the windows open wide No destination, no need to know it Just keep me by your side [Verse 2] We found a lake behind the pines Bought cheap sunglasses and crossed the lines Your laugh got stuck inside my head We chased the last light instead [Pre-Chorus] Phone is ringing, let it ring There are better things to do than anything With the whole day still unwritten And your smile saying, “Keep going” [Chorus] We can take the long way home Make a map out of the unknown Turn a wrong turn into a story Nothing has to be ordinary Oh, we’re moving, moving With the windows open wide No destination, no need to know it Just keep me by your side [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow asks for answers Maybe the clock comes running fast But tonight the road is ours And I want this feeling to last [Final Chorus] We can take the long way home Make a map out of the unknown Turn a wrong turn into a story Nothing has to be ordinary Oh, we’re moving, moving With the windows open wide No destination, no need to know it Just keep me by your side [Outro] Take the long way, take the long way Anywhere with you feels right
