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
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 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
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
Ohhhh
You gimmie love just like that
No, it doesn’t seem real (noooo)
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 by 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
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
And drive all night like we got no
No place by 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
