[Verse 1] The brass doors close with a quiet chime A paper cup warms my hand You smile like you've got nowhere to be And I begin to understand [Chorus] Take the long way up with me Let the floors drift by No need to name the destination No need to ask why Take the long way up with me Easy as a Sunday tune We'll arrive before we notice Underneath the afternoon [Verse 2] A little gold across the marble A bell above the desk Your coat leaves rain along the chair The room feels softer than the rest [Chorus] Take the long way up with me Let the floors drift by No need to name the destination No need to ask why Take the long way up with me Easy as a Sunday tune We'll arrive before we notice Underneath the afternoon [Bridge] If the doors open, let them wait We've got another floor A little time is all it takes To make the ordinary more [Chorus] Take the long way up with me Let the floors drift by No need to name the destination No need to ask why Take the long way up with me Easy as a Sunday tune We'll arrive before we notice Underneath the afternoon [Outro] The brass doors close with a quiet chime And we ride the morning through
