Is it me, or does everybody look exactly the same? In a house, on a couch, making out, playing dangerous games So if I'm being honest, I really wanna leave this party So how about you start it up? We can take the long way home Down every going nowhere road I don't mind the traffic lights They're giving me more time to kiss you slow We can take the long way home Mama doesn't need to know Can you give me that speed? Small town streets, young and free You and me on the radio Let's take the long way home The long way home We can say we ran out of gas Got lost and had a flat tire Oops 11.59, pulling in the drive down to the wire There's no way we can stay at the party Baby, drive this Kia like an Audi I'm about to start it up We can take the long way home Down every going nowhere road I don't mind the traffic lights They're giving me more time to kiss you slow We can take the long way home Mama doesn't need to know Can you give me that speed? Small town streets, young and free You and me on the radio Let's take the long way home The long way home We can take the back roads We can take the highway I can go yours, you can go my way I can go yours, you can go my way We can take the back roads We can take the highway I can go yours, you can go my way I can go yours, you can go my way My way, my way, my way, my way We can take the long way home Down every going nowhere road I don't mind the traffic lights They're giving me more time to kiss you slow We can take the long way home Mama doesn't need to know Can you give me that speed? Small town streets, young and free You and me on the radio Let's take the long way home The long way home Let's take the long way home The long way home
