Long Way Home

We're taking the long way home

(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 and 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 (taking the long way)

'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you

Talkin' about nothing yeah whatever baby

So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)

Tonight



We're taking the long way home

(Taking the long way home)

We're taking the long way home



Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere

Yeah and we only took our time to get there

Hiding out in a tree

Catching fire like kerosene (kerosene)



And you know I'd never let you down

'Til the sun comes up

We can own this town

Something like make believe

Living in a movie scene



Know this is the way it's supposed to be



So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)

'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you

Talkin' about nothing yeah whatever baby

So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)



Hitting every red light

Kissing at the stop signs darling

Green Day's on the radio

And everything is alright

Now we're turning up 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

Talkin' about nothing yeah whatever baby

So 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 up the headlights darling

We're just taking it slow



We're taking the long way home (x3)
