[Verse 1] I don't wanna go I don't wanna say goodbye yet Live the afterglow But can we run on borrowed time? [Pre-Chorus] We can hide away, drive until the moon goes down Don't you wanna stay even though we're homeward bound [Chorus] Baby can we take the long way home? I'll pay every toll please don't make me go You're the only one I need to hold Oh baby can we take the long way home? [Post-Chorus] Can we take the long way home? Can we take the long way home? [Verse 2] Got my eyes on you Take a picture in my mind just to hold onto Keep me in your view I'm counting every smile I could tame [Pre-Chorus] We can hide away, drive until the moon goes down Don't you wanna stay even though we're homeward bound [Chorus] Baby can we take the long way home? I'll pay every toll, please don't make me go You're the only one I need to hold Oh baby can we take the long way home? [Post-Chorus] Can we take the long way home? Can we take the long way home? [Bridge] I play these nights in my mind Play it and rewind, play it and rewind Baby just drive Forget the time Please don't say goodnight, please don't say goodnight [Chorus] Baby can we take the long way home? I'll pay every toll, please don't make me go You're the only one I need to hold Oh baby can we take the long way home? [Post-Chorus] Can we take the long way home? Can we take the long way home?
