Let's take the long way home tonight And just cruise along the boulevards Let's shine a little, we're the street lights And dream ourselves away to mars Let's follow all the stars above Or maybe take the subway home 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 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 here before it's gone 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
