[Verse 1]

Let's take the long way home tonight

And just cruise along the boulevards

Let's shine a little, we're the streetlights

And dream ourselves away to Mars

Let's follow all the stars above

Or maybe take the subway home

[Chorus]

These days are mine

And I'm gonna take it slow

Like the peaceful waters flow

I'll make it up as I go

That's all I really know

So let's take the long way home

[Verse 2]

Let's cry a little if we wanna

Or laugh out loud the best we can

Let's meet the comfort of convenience

And search a silence deep within

Let's stay a while and take it easy

If that's something you can overcome

Let's take a minute just to slip away

And linger on before it's gone

[Chorus]

These days are mine

And I'm gonna take it slow

Like the peaceful waters flow

I'll make it up as I go

That's all I really know

So let's take the long way home

[Chorus]

These days are mine

And I'm gonna take it slow

Like the peaceful waters flow

I'll make it up as I go

That's all I really know

So let's take the long way home

[Outro]

And I'm gonna take it slow

Like the peaceful waters flow

And that's all I really know

So let's take the long way home
