歌詞

We take the sidewalk past the store

You slow your steps to match my pace

The paper bag swings at your side

I ask about the bread inside

You say you'll save it for the morning

I say, "That place is worth the wait"

Your car is just around the corner

I find another thing to say

I point out cracks along the curb

As if there's something new to see

You take your keys out of your pocket

And still you're walking next to me

One more block before we go

Your keys are out, but you walk slow

One more block, then tell me why

We're finding ways to stretch goodbye

You ask if this is where we turn

I know it is; I check the sign

There's nothing wrong with going home

I just don't want to go to mine

A cyclist rings a bell behind us

We move aside to let them through

I lose the end of what I'm saying

And start another thought with you

Your car is waiting by the crossing

The window catches both our faces

I could say, "Thanks, I had a good time"

Then watch you turn and drive away

One more block before we go

Your keys are out, but you walk slow

One more block, then tell me why

We're finding ways to stretch goodbye

I've talked about the shops and traffic

And everything except for this

You reach the car and turn toward me

The words I want are almost out

One more block before we go

Your keys are out, but you walk slow

One more block, then tell me why

We're finding ways to stretch goodbye

I say, "Let's take the long way round

I'm not quite ready to head back"

We don't need anywhere to go

I just like being here with you

I point beyond the parked cars now

"Come walk a little more with me"
