[Verse 1]
Let's take the long way home tonight
And just cruise along the boulevards
Let's shine a little, we're the streetlights
And dream ourselves away to Mars
Let's follow all the stars above
Or maybe take the subway home

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
