Take me back to the middle of nowhere Back to the place only you and I share Remember all the memories? The fireflies and make-believe Kicking back in the old school yard Singing songs on our guitars This is our reality Crazy stupid, you and me
We know this is the way it’s supposed to be
So we’re taking the long way home Cuz I don’t wanna be wasting my time alone I wanna get lost and drive forever with you, talkin bout nothing, yeah whatever, babe So we’re taking the long way home tonight
Now we’re stuck in the middle of nowhere Yeah you know we took our time to get there We’re hiding out in a dream Catching fire like kerosene And you know I’d never let you down 'Til the sun comes up, we can own this town Something like make-believe Living in a movie scene
I know this is the way it’s supposed to be
So we’re taking the long way home Cuz I don’t wanna be wasting my time alone I wanna get lost and drive forever with you, talkin bout nothing, yeah whatever, babe So we’re taking the long way home
Hitting every red light Kissing at the stop signs, darling Green Day’s on the radio And everything is alright Now we’re turning off the headlights, darling We’re just taking it slow
