We're taking the long way home, taking the long way home
[1st Verse]
Take me back to the middle of nowhere
Back to the place only you and I share
Remember all the memories?
The fireflies and make-believe
Kicking back in the old school yard
Singing songs on our guitars
This is our reality
Crazy stupid, you and me
[Chorus]
So we’re taking the long way home
'Cause I don’t wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking 'bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we’re taking the long way home tonight
We're taking the long way home
[2nd Verse]
Now we’re stuck in the middle of nowhere
Yeah, you know we took our time to get there
We’re hiding out in a dream
Catching fire like kerosene
'Til the sun comes up, we can own this town
Something like make-believe
Living in a movie scene
[Chorus]
So we’re taking the long way home
'Cause I don’t wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking 'bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we’re taking the long way home tonight
We're taking the long way home
[Bridge]
Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Green Day’s on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we’re turning off the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow
[Chorus]
So we’re taking the long way home
'Cause I don’t wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking 'bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we’re taking the long way home tonight
We're taking the long way home
Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Green Day’s on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we’re turning off the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow
We’re taking the long way home
