Taking The 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 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 'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone I wanna get lost and drive forever with you Talking about nothing, yeah, whatever, baby So we're taking the long way home tonight So we're taking the long way home We're taking the long way home Taking the 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 'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone I wanna get lost and drive forever with you Talking 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 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 Talking 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 off the headlights, darling We're just taking it slow We're taking the long way home We're taking the long way home We're taking the long way home
