Let's take the long way home tonight    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 on 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       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       And I'm gonna take it slow    Like the peaceful waters flow       And that's all I really know    So let's take the long way home
