Текст песни
[Verse 1] You brought two peaches in a paper bag From the corner shop by the old train track Said, “Take the long way, we’ve got time to spend” So we missed the bus and found a better bend Your yellow shirt caught on the garden gate You laughed so hard that you forgot the day I had a list of things I had to prove You crossed them out with one small afternoon [Pre-Chorus] Now every little plan can wait There’s something sweeter at the gate You take my hand, I lose the thread Of all the noise inside my head [Chorus] We can take the long way home Let the whole wide world roll on If the sun is moving, let it move I’ve got nowhere else to be but you Take the long way home Turn a minute into something gold Every road feels new when I’m with you I’ve got nowhere else to be but you [Verse 2] We found a radio beneath the stairs One working speaker and a missing pair You tuned it past the weather and the news To a little brass line with a softer blue At the fruit stand, you chose the ripest one Juice on your wrist, laughing in the sun The vendor waved as we walked away Like he’d seen this kind of joy before today [Pre-Chorus] Let every little plan can wait There’s something sweeter at the gate You say my name, I turn around And all the right things gather now [Chorus] We can take the long way home Let the whole wide world roll on If the sun is moving, let it move I’ve got nowhere else to be but you Take the long way home Turn a minute into something gold Every road feels new when I’m with you I’ve got nowhere else to be but you [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow brings the crowded room Maybe the rain comes down across the afternoon But I will keep this little piece of day The peach-stained sleeve, the tracks, the way you stayed [Final Chorus] We can take the long way home Let the whole wide world roll on If the sun is moving, let it move I’ve got nowhere else to be but you Take the long way home Turn a minute into something gold Every road feels new when I’m with you I’ve got nowhere else to be but you [Outro] Long way, long way home Your hand in mine, and the daylight slow Long way, long way home Nowhere else to be but you
