Long Way Home

Dad drove a taxi

And Mum was cleaning houses

We could barely pay the bills

But we never worried 'bout it

And they'd tell me stories as they danced to Carole King

Looking back, we didn't have too much

But we had everything, oh

I want a love like they have

But it doesn't seem real

Someone who takes my good and bad

Someone who makes me feel

Like

I wanna take the long way home

And drive all night like we got no

No place to go

Your hand in mine

With the windows down as the sun breaks through

Feel it in my bones, it was always you

Darling, I wanna take the long way home

Mmm

Came to you broken

I know I needed fixing

Sometimes you find a piece you didn't even know was missing

Oh, you listen and you care

And sometimes that's all it takes

Oh, you make me wanna run these lights and cut these brakes

Oh, you give me love just like that

No, it doesn't seem real, no

You always take my good and bad

You always make me feel

Like

I wanna take the long way home

And drive all night like we got no

No place to go

Your hand in mine

With the windows down as the sun breaks through

Feel it in my bones, it was always you

Darling, I wanna take the long way home

Mmm

Slow down

What's the rush now?

Take the long way

Make it last forever

Slow down

What's the rush now?

Take the long way

Make it last forever

I wanna take the long way home

And drive all night like we got no

No place to go

Your hand in mine

With the windows down as the sun breaks through

Feel it in my bones, it was always you

Darling, I wanna take the long way home

Mmm
