Lyric

Let's take the long way home

island echo

何にもない一日だった　しゃらら

遠回りして帰ろう

楽しみにしてたテレビもすっ飛ばして

遠回りして帰ろう

いつも気ままにいられたら

どんなにか楽だろう

心そんなにシンプルじゃないね

しんどいけど

どうでも良くなる空がある　しゃらら

遠回りして帰ろう

気分転換も必要だ　今日は遠回りして帰ろう

君を勇気づけたくて　あくせくしていても

僕がしゃんとしていないと

何もはじまらない　風に吹かれよう

何にもない一日だった　しゃらら

遠回りして帰ろう

少しずつ学んでいけばいい

今日は遠回りして帰ろう

遠回りして帰ろう

遠回りして帰ろう
