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 Carole 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
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 care
and sometimes that's all it takes
Oh you make me wanna run these lights
and cut these brakes, oh
You give me love just like that
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
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 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
