Take the Long Way Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave your coffee by the window Like a note you never wrote The morning takes the color slowly From the room we used to know [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a perfect answer I just need the door left wide If you turn around before the weather I'll be waiting on this side [Chorus] Remis, take the long way home Let the quiet say what we don't No grand promise, no parade Just your hand finding mine again Remis, if the distance bends We can start where the silence ends One small truth, one steady kiss That's enough for me, Remis [Verse 2] There are boxes in the hallway With the labels wearing thin I kept the blue one by the staircase For the things we couldn't mend [Pre-Chorus] Maybe time is not a verdict Maybe time is just a tide If you turn around before the weather I'll be waiting on this side [Chorus] Remis, take the long way home Let the quiet say what we don't No grand promise, no parade Just your hand finding mine again Remis, if the distance bends We can start where the silence ends One small truth, one steady kiss That's enough for me, Remis [Bridge] I won't ask you to erase it I won't pretend I didn't fall Bring the pieces as you carry them We can name them one by one [Final Chorus] Remis, take the long way home Let the quiet say what we don't No grand promise, no parade Just your hand finding mine again Remis, if the distance bends We can start where the silence ends One small truth, one steady kiss That's enough for me, Remis [Outro] One small truth, one steady kiss That's enough for me
