Taking the long way home (x2)
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 in 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 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 babe
So we're taking the long way home
(taking the long way home)
Tonight (we're takin' long way home)
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
Yeah you know we took our time to get there
We're hiding out in a dream
Catching fire like 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
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
So we're taking the long way home
(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 babe
So we're taking the long way home
(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 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,
Talkin about nothing yeah whatever babe
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 off the headlights, darling
We're just taking it slow
Taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home (x2)
