The Long Way Home

Lyrics

[Intro] Easy now, take your time We got nowhere else to be tonight [Verse 1] You arrive with your blue coat folded Keys in your hand, your hair still wet Put your phone face down beside me Like a promise you don't have to say yet The kettle clicks, the room gets quiet Your shoulder finds the edge of mine No big speech, no perfect timing Just your fingers drawing circles on my palm [Pre-Chorus] If the morning calls, let it wait Stay right here by the window frame [Chorus] Come closer, let the whole world turn We can take the long way home Your laugh is all I need to learn I don't want to be alone Come closer, with your hand in mine No need to rush what feels this right Tonight, tonight We take the long way home [Verse 2] There are mango skins on the counter Two clean glasses by the sink You tell me stories from your hometown I watch the little pause before you think Outside, a taxi rolls past slowly Someone calls a name across the yard You lean in and ask me softly How did getting here become so easy, so fast? [Pre-Chorus] If the morning calls, let it wait Stay right here by the window frame [Chorus] Come closer, let the whole world turn We can take the long way home Your laugh is all I need to learn I don't want to be alone Come closer, with your hand in mine No need to rush what feels this right Tonight, tonight We take the long way home [Bridge] Maybe love is not a firework Maybe it's the plate you save Maybe it's the quiet after midnight And the way you know my face [Final Chorus] Come closer, let the whole world turn We can take the long way home Your laugh is all I need to learn I don't want to be alone Come closer, with your hand in mine No need to rush what feels this right Tonight, tonight We take the long way home [Outro] Easy now, take your time Stay with me until the morning shines
