[Verse 1] We waited out the rain in a bookstore You read the titles like a menu The owner flipped the sign at seven And said he hoped the sky forgave us We stepped outside into a silver street You held the door and fell in step with me [Pre-Chorus] Every other corner made us stop Then the whole road seemed to open up [Chorus] We caught the longest green light All the way through a good night No running, no rush, just right You and me in the longest green light Every little maybe turned to yes Every little mile took a little less I don't know where this road will lead But it's looking pretty good to me [Verse 2] A busker played beside the square You knew the tune, I knew the next line We bought one coffee and two lids The barista laughed and said, "You'll be fine" You wrote your number on the paper sleeve I kept the cup all through the following week [Pre-Chorus] Every other corner made us stop Then the whole road seemed to open up [Chorus] We caught the longest green light All the way through a good night No running, no rush, just right You and me in the longest green light Every little maybe turned to yes Every little mile took a little less I don't know where this road will lead But it's looking pretty good to me [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] Some doors don't open with a sound Some roads turn gently while you're looking round No promise bigger than a hand And one more block before our separate plans [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] We caught the longest green light All the way through a good night No running, no rush, just right You and me in the longest green light Every little maybe turned to yes Every little mile took a little less I don't know where this road will lead But it's looking pretty good to me [Outro] One more block Just right Longest green light
