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
