So we're taking the long way home Take me back to the middle of nowhere Back to the place only you and I share Remember all the memories The fireflies that make believe Kicking back at the old school yard Singing songs on our guitars This is our reality Crazy, stupid, you and me We know this is the way it's supposed to be 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 about laughing, yeah, whatever, baby So we're taking the long way home tonight We're taking the long way home Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere Yeah, you know it took our time to get there We're hiding out in a dream Catching fire like kerosene And you know I never let you down Till the sun comes up, we can own this town Something like make-believe Living in a movie scene We know this is the way it's supposed to be 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 about laughing, yeah, whatever, baby So we're taking the long way home Hitting every red light Kissing at the stop signs, darling Green days on the radio And everything is alright Now we're turning off the headlights, darling We're just taking it slow 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 about laughing, yeah, whatever, baby So we're taking the long way home Hitting every red light Kissing at the stop signs, darling Green days 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 *
