Take the long way home
Just to let the song finish out
Just to go see the farmhouse
I always wanted to live in
All the windows down
Just to drive past the dead end
The one where we got naked
And lit off those sparklers
Making wishes on wheels
I'll tell you anything
I know you keep it just between us
Till the other boys got speed
Cause your sweetheart has
A heart of gold in her heart
So hold on me, I'd like to keep
Cut up magazines
Spiced flowers and your poetry
Stains from the blackberry
Are covering my pretty jeans
We exist in dreams
Butterflies land on the leaves
A hundred-year-old military
When you lay down beside me
Making wishes on wheels
I'll tell you anything
I know you keep it just between us
Just between us
Till the other boys got speed
Cause your sweetheart has
A heart of gold on me
I'd like to keep
Mmm
Bye.
