The Long Way Home (feat. Noelle Johnson) - Midnight Kids & Matthew Koma

Even though the world is dark Try to light a little part Don't go run and hide Give a little of my heart Only then the beat will start Keeping me in time Life, doesn't wait for long Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there You'll know, You can find yourself on the long way home Ohh ohh ohh, take the long way home Ohh ohh ohh, take the long, way, home Sinking in the undertone, Never knowing where to go, How to find something more? Looking for a kind you want, Only then the dreams will come, Knocking on my door Life doesn't wait for long Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there you will know, You can find yourself on the long way home Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there you will know, You can find yourself on the long way home Oh, oh, it's a winding road, Oh, oh, take the long way home, Oh, oh, when you're there you will know, You have found yourself on the long way home So take the long way home Take the long way home

Let's take the long way home Find a couple hills to climb Cause baby we can take our time Let's take the long way home Trust in me to lead the way Cause we can do this one more day Cause we can do this one more day Let's take the long way home Find a couple hills to climb Cause baby we can take our time Let's take the long way home Trust in me to lead the way Cause we can do this one more day Cause we can do this one more day Let's take the long way home Find a couple hills to climb Cause baby we can take our time Let's take the long way home Trust in me to lead the way Cause we can do this one more day Said, we can do this one more day

Well, I stumbled in the darkness I'm lost and alone Though I said I'd go before us And show the way back home Is there a light up ahead? I can't hold on very long Forgive me, pretty baby But I always take the long way home Money's just something you throw Off the back of a train I got a handful of lightening And head full of rain And I know that I said I'd never do it again Oh well, I love you, sweet baby But I always take the long way home I put food on the table And a roof overhead But I'd trade it all tomorrow For that highway instead Watch your back, if I should tell And love's the only thing I've ever known One thing's for sure, sweet baby I always take the long way home Though I love you, baby More than the whole wide world I'm your woman You know, you are my pearl So let's go out past the party lights Where we can finally be alone Come with me We can take the long way home (mmm-mmm) Come with me Together we can take the long way home (Mm-mm-mm) Come with me Together we can take the long way home

I'll never kiss you with indifference I won't hurt you like the others did I won't lie to save face, no 'Cause I won't have to All I ask you Is to put one foot in front of the other And your hand in my hand Keep a light on on the night stand My plans got big plans for your plans Oh, I had a fear of us And now both my hands are up I surrender, you got my love, serious I surrender, you got my love, serious You're the center of my, of my universe now It's all for us now What a beautiful sound I'm serious, serious, oh You're the center of my, of my universe now It's all for us now What a beautiful sound I'm serious, serious, oh I wanna stay with you in New York Take your picture against Tokyo Pause your whole universe And be your intermission With your permission To put one foot in front of the other And your hand in my hand Keep a light on on the night stand My plans got big plans for your plans Oh, I had a fear of us And now both my hands are up I surrender, you got my love, serious I surrender, you got my love, serious You're the center of my, of my universe now It's all for us now What a beautiful sound I'm serious, serious, oh You're the center of my, of my universe now It's all for us now What a beautiful sound I'm serious, serious, oh One foot in front of the other And your hand in my hand One foot in front of the other And your hand in my hand You got my love, serious You got my love, serious You got my love, serious I'm serious, serious, oh

I remember when in the summer winds We would speed down the 405 playing the Who With the red lights and adrenaline We had young blood in our veins and dirt on our shoes But you sold that car the year you finished school And I stopped wearing that faded pair of shoes We got so wrapped up in the clouds we fell through Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh We just want to stay this young for Everyday the bills keep coming All the bullshit we're all stuck in Take me back to when we'd just drive Think it's time that we said fuck it Red light, let's run it I'm sitting in line, on the 405 When the same song that we'd sing is playing outside I got the windows up but I can hear enough For it to bring me back to the way we loved Feeling so big, feeling sober, feeling alive But you sold that car the year you finished school And I stopped wearing that faded pair of shoes We got so wrapped up in the clouds we fell through Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh! We just want to stay this young for Everyday the bills keep coming All the bullshit we're all stuck in Take me back to when we'd just drive Think it's time that we said fuck it Red light, let's run it You sold that car the year you finished school And I stopped wearing that faded pair of shoes We got so wrapped up in the clouds we fell through Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh! We just want to stay this young for Everyday the bills keep coming All the bullshit we're all stuck in Take me back to when we'd just drive Think it's time that we said fuck it Red light, let's run it Red light, let's run it Oh let's run it Oh let's run it Oh let's run it Red light, let's run it

Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Ohhhh Think of me when your world seems to fall apart Under the weight of a heavy heart It's so material, criminal What we put up on a pedestal Need a spark to start a fire Don't be afraid of a chance for a miracle Scare it away being cynical Step into open skies, close your eyes Jump into something you don't recognize Just reach your arms out wide Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cause we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love And it's all we've got, we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love Ohhhh I'll be your voice when the whispers get too loud Your home base and the king that keeps you crowned Your breath when you're choking on your words Your sex your right turn When you're ready to start, lean on my heart baby Close your eyes just reach your arms out wide Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cause we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love And it's all we've got, we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love Ohhhh Don't need a tomb with a view on the West Side Just wanna wake up at your side Cause when you know it, you know it In the blink of a moment It's like I'm, it's like I'm It's like I'm falling for the first time Cut me loose, my parachute won't let me fly I'll survive cause we've got love Summer days will fade away and pass us by But we'll survive cause we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love And it's all we've got, we've got love Baby what we've got, we've got love Ohhhh

You are no good for me no more, We don't know how to love without a war. We're a disease without a cure, You wanna hurt just a little, hurt just a little more. We are casually cruel, You were my training wheels and april fools, But our tolerance is full, Don't wanna hurt anybody, hurt anyone no more. Length is a pity, watching your pretty smile so warm And I am already halfway out the door. And you'll go and kiss me, say you were tipsy Baby, I lose my cool When I get emotional. I get emotional. You get emotional, too. I get emotional. We're comfortably dysfunctional, I get emotional. I get emotional. You get emotional, too. I get emotional. We're comfortably dysfunctional, I get emotional. You are detention after school, You are November in the swimming pool. A speeding car running on fumes, We can drive just a little, drive just a little more. You are a trampoline with wings, We're only jumping out of tendency. Cause now we both need different things, So I'll be coming off these streets. Length is a pity, watching your pretty smile so warm And I am already halfway out the door. And you'll go and kiss me, say you were tipsy, Baby, I lose my cool When I get emotional. I get emotional. You get emotional, too. I get emotional. We're comfortably dysfunctional, I get emotional. I get emotional. You get emotional, too. I get emotional. We're comfortably dysfunctional, I get emotional.
