LONG WAY ROUND (Fade Out)

[Intro — Female] This isn’t the way home. [Male] I know. [Female] Thought so. [Verse 1 — Female] You turned left Where we normally go right I watched the street disappear Behind us Didn’t say anything For almost two minutes Then asked “Where are we going?” You said “Traffic” There was no traffic [Male] You checked the map I said “Don’t” You laughed Because I’ve never been convincing Truth is I wasn’t ready For your front door yet [Pre-Chorus — Both] Five more streets Ten more minutes Nobody’s waiting Nobody minds Maybe getting home Can take its time [Chorus] [Both] Take the long way round Drive past where we need to turn [Female Upper Harmony] Keep going [Male] We’ve got nowhere urgent [Both] Take the long way round One more song One more road If arriving means I have to let you go Then baby Take the long way round [Verse 2 — Male] You put your feet up On the edge of the seat I told you “You’ll mark it” You said “You love me” Unfair argument I stopped pretending I cared about the upholstery [Female] We passed the bakery We passed your old school You showed me Where you learned to drive I’d known you years Still found new places Inside twenty extra minutes [Pre-Chorus] [Female] Next right gets me home [Male] We could miss it [Female] Again? [Male] Completely accidental [Both] Sure [Chorus] Take the long way round Drive past where we need to turn Keep the heater low Let the whole city wait its turn Take the long way round One more song One more road If arriving means I have to let you go Then baby Take the long way round [Bridge — percussion softens] [Female] You know I noticed Ten minutes ago [Male] I know [Female] You know I didn’t say anything [Male] I know [Female] So technically We’re both responsible [Male] Excellent [Both, close harmony] Keep driving [Final Chorus — counter-melodies] [Female] Take the long way round [Male] I know another road [Female] Take me somewhere pointless [Male] Anywhere you want to go [Both] One more bridge One more corner One more unnecessary mile [Upper Female] Stay a little longer [Male] That’s the plan [Female cascading run] Ro-o-o-ound Round and ro-o-o-ound— [Both] If getting home means ending this Take the long way round [Outro] [Female] We’re twenty minutes away now. [Male] Terrible navigation. [Female] Keep going.
