Long Way Home

Dad drove a taxi and mum was cleaning houses
We could barely pay the bills but we never worried 'bout it
And they'd tell me stories as they danced to Carol King
Looking back, we didn't have too much but we had everything, oh

I want a love like they have but it doesn't seem real
Someone who takes my good and bad
Someone who makes me feel like

I wanna take the long way home
And drive all night like we got no
No place to go
Your hand in mine with the windows down as the sun breaks through
Feel it in my bones, it was always you
Darling, I wanna take the long way home

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Came to you broken
I know I needed fixing
Sometimes you find a piece you didn't even know was missing
Oh, you listen and you cared and sometimes that's all it takes
Oh, you make me wanna run these lights and cut these brakes

Oh, you gimme love just like that (uh-uh, uh, uh)
No, it doesn't seem real (no)
You always take my good and bad
You always make me feel like

I wanna take the long way home
And drive all night like we got no
No place to go
Your hand in mine with the windows down as the sun breaks through
Feel it in my bones, it was always you
Darling, I wanna take the long way home

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Slow down
What's the rush now?
Take the long way
Make it last forever
Slow down
What's the rush now?
Take the long way
Make it last forever

I wanna take the long way home (ooh)
And drive all night like we got no
No place by to go (oh)
Your hand in mine with the windows down as the sun breaks through
Feel it in my bones, it was always you
Darling, I wanna take the long way home (oh, oh)

Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
