Midnight Loop

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in late with a paper cup Rain on your coat, but your chin held up You said the whole week had gone sideways I saved you the seat by the window pane [Pre-Chorus] We let the small talk fall away And watched the clouds move off the bay [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the little shops we used to see No grand plan, no guarantee Just your laugh beside me Take the long way home tonight Let the miles turn out all right If the road bends, let it be Take the long way home with me [Verse 2] Your old blue jacket smelled like cedar You told that story a little sweeter At the red light, you tapped the dash Then grinned when the green came back [Pre-Chorus] The hour slipped by, the town grew small You said, “I’m glad you called at all” [Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the little shops we used to see No grand plan, no guarantee Just your laugh beside me Take the long way home tonight Let the miles turn out all right If the road bends, let it be Take the long way home with me [Bridge] When the morning starts its hurry And the day calls us away I’ll keep this quiet stretch between us Like a note I get to save [Final Chorus] Take the long way home with me Past the little shops we used to see No grand plan, no guarantee Just your laugh beside me Take the long way home tonight Let the miles turn out all right If the road bends, let it be Take the long way home with me [Outro] Take the long way home with me
