[Verse] The lights on Ninth are out again The whole street breathing slow You said you'd wait, you always do And I'm in no rush to go [Chorus] So take the long way, take the long way Let the green turn red and turn green again Take the long way, take the long way I have never once been early and I've never once complained [Verse] A radio in somebody's car Is playing something old The evening goes the colour of A cup of coffee going cold [Chorus] So take the long way, take the long way Let the green turn red and turn green again Take the long way, take the long way I have never once been early and I've never once complained [Bridge] Everybody's somewhere they would rather not be Except the two of us and this ordinary street [Chorus] So take the long way, take the long way Let the green turn red and turn green again Take the long way, take the long way I have never once been early and I've never once complained [Chorus] So take the long way, take the long way Let the green turn red and turn green again Take the long way, take the long way I have never once been early and I've never once complained
