Текст песни
[Verse 1] You texted, “Bring a jacket,” but the sky was clear We left the map at home and disappeared Two bikes by the corner, one coin in my hand A little dirt on our shoes, exactly as planned [Pre-Chorus] No reservation, no reason to wait The last train’s leaving, so we’re tempting fate [Chorus] Take the long way, turn the headlights low Anywhere you point, I’m ready to go Laughing at the wrong turns, singing out of tune We’ve got the whole night and an afternoon Take the long way, let the road decide With the windows open and you by my side If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been We’ll say, “Somewhere good—let’s do it again” [Verse 2] We found a roadside diner with a painted sign Split a slice of cherry pie and called it fine Your camera battery died, so we made up scenes Of treasure in the tall grass and movie-star dreams [Pre-Chorus] No reservation, no reason to wait The last train’s leaving, so we’re tempting fate [Chorus] Take the long way, turn the headlights low Anywhere you point, I’m ready to go Laughing at the wrong turns, singing out of tune We’ve got the whole night and an afternoon Take the long way, let the road decide With the windows open and you by my side If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been We’ll say, “Somewhere good—let’s do it again” [Bridge] Maybe we’ll miss the exit, maybe lose the keys But every little accident is better with you and me No perfect plan could beat this view The best part of the trip is finding something new [Final Chorus] Take the long way, turn the headlights low Anywhere you point, I’m ready to go Laughing at the wrong turns, singing out of tune We’ve got the whole night and an afternoon Take the long way, let the road decide With the windows open and you by my side If tomorrow asks us where we’ve been We’ll say, “Somewhere good—let’s do it again” [Outro] Somewhere good, let’s do it again Take the long way, my friend
