The Long Way Home

Поп, рок

[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair The kettle clicked, but you weren't there I found your note beneath the keys “Take the long way home if you need” [Pre-Chorus] So I took the road past Miller's store Past the field where we ran before And every mile made one thing clear I can miss you and still steer [Chorus] I’m taking the long way home tonight Past the county line, past the water tower light If the morning finds me somewhere new I’ll keep the good, let go of what we outgrew I’m taking the long way home tonight [Verse 2] Your old mixtape skips at track number five That scratched-up chorus still comes alive I sang too loud at the red light's turn Some things stay, some things burn [Pre-Chorus] The diner sign was missing a letter The coffee tasted just the same as ever I watched the first bus cross the square And let the cool air clear my head [Chorus] I’m taking the long way home tonight Past the county line, past the water tower light If the morning finds me somewhere new I’ll keep the good, let go of what we outgrew I’m taking the long way home tonight [Bridge] Maybe the map was never wrong Maybe I was holding on too long I can carry what was kind Without carrying us behind [Final Chorus] I’m taking the long way home tonight Past the county line, past the water tower light When the morning finds me somewhere new I’ll keep the good, let go of what we outgrew I’m taking the long way home tonight Yeah, I’m taking the long way home tonight [Outro] The long way home tonight The long way home
