The hours that we spent in between   They didn’t mean what we wanted them to mean   We were tired and scared and having dreams of showing up unprepared   Now the little bird is perched on that giant tree   Singing songs so sweet and beautifully   Now as the sun it sets   I wonder if there will be anything I’ll regret   So let’s take the long way home   Every moment I spend with you   Let’s make it slow, so slow   We’ll mark the moments as they go.   I love when everything falls into place   Only happens after I’ve given up the race   Well, I have eyes to see   I have life that’s bursting forth inside of me   So let’s take the long way home   Every moment I spend with you   Let’s make it slow, so slow   We’ll mark the moments as they go.   To many people I have been many things   Hunger hatred love and endless innocence   And to those who’ve gone   I am one who will remember them in song   So let’s take the long way home   Every moment I spend with you   Let’s make it slow, so slow   We’ll mark the moments as they go.   We’ll mark the moments as the go   Yeah we’ll mark the moments as they go.
