Lyric

Your hand rests easy on the wheel

Rain beads gather on the glass

You say my name like something real

And let the slower traffic pass

The radio is turned down low

Your shoulder brushes mine

No need to ask where we should go

I already know the sign

Take the long way home tonight

Keep every turn between us

Let the mile markers lose their lines

And leave the whole world behind us

I feel your pulse beneath your sleeve

A secret neither of us needs to name

Take the long way home with me

Until the morning finds us changed

A paper cup cools in the tray

Your jacket smells like cedar smoke

We watch the tollgates slide away

And trade the little truths we hold

The highway bends, the engine hums

Your fingers find my hand

Whatever waits for both of us

Can wait until we land

Take the long way home tonight

Keep every turn between us

Let the mile markers lose their lines

And leave the whole world behind us

I feel your pulse beneath your sleeve

A secret neither of us needs to name

Take the long way home with me

Until the morning finds us changed

If this is only borrowed time

Then let it spend us slow

Your eyes meet mine at every light

And neither says to go

Take the long way home tonight

Keep every turn between us

Let the mile markers lose their lines

And leave the whole world behind us

I feel your pulse beneath your sleeve

A secret neither of us needs to name

Take the long way home with me

Until the morning finds us changed

Stay on this road a little more

Stay close, stay close
