The hours that we spent in between
They didnâ??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 Iâ??ll regret
So letâ??s take the long way home
Every moment I spend with you
Letâ??s make it slow, so slow
Weâ??ll mark the moments as they go.
I love when everything falls into place
Only happens after Iâ??ve given up the race
Well, I have eyes to see
I have life thatâ??s bursting forth inside of me
So letâ??s take the long way home
Every moment I spend with you
Letâ??s make it slow, so slow
Weâ??ll mark the moments as they go.
To many people I have been many things
Hunger hatred love and endless innocence
And to those whoâ??ve gone
I am one who will remember them in song
So letâ??s take the long way home
Every moment I spend with you
Letâ??s make it slow, so slow
Weâ??ll mark the moments as they go.
Weâ??ll mark the moments as the go
Yeah weâ??ll mark the moments as they go.
