[Intro: Luke] So we're taking the long way home [Verse 1: Luke] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Luke] We know this is the way it's supposed to be [Chorus: All & Luke] 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 'bout nothing, yeah whatever baby So we're taking the long way home tonight We're taking the long way home [Verse 2: Michael] 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 [Pre-Chorus: All] [Chorus: All] 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 'bout nothing, yeah whatever baby So we're taking the long way home [Bridge: Calum] 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 [Chorus: Luke & All] 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 'bout nothing, yeah whatever baby So we're taking the long way home [Bridge] [Outro: Luke] We're taking the long way home We're taking the long way home We're taking the long way home
