“The Long Way Home”
in the car we take the long way home
in the car I watch the sun go down
in the car I think about life
in the car my dad drives
chorus:
there’s a deeper meaning to find
than our thousand mile an hour lives
and there’s the whisper
in the back of your mind
when you’re all tuckered out
already with the lamp turned out
and the sun goes down so we park the car
watch the sky change, fade to dark
we never know where the time goes
surrounded by sin, we let the dark in
in the car, turn the headlights on
in the car, quiet songs
In the car, we drive on dirt roads
in the car, we are where no one goes
there’s a deeper meaning to find
than our thousand mile an hour lives
and there’s the whisper
in the back of your mind
when you’re all tuckered out
already with the lamp turned out
chorus
I’m fighting to keep my eyes open
on the drive over
I’m fighting to keep my eyes open
on the drive over
I’m fighting to keep my eyes open
on the drive over
I’m fighting to keep my eyes open
on the drive over
chorus x2
in the car we take the long way home
in the car I watch the sun go down
