lyrics

You take your time gettin’ to it
No rushing right through it for you
To the place where we do it
And then you just - slow it down

You take the long way there
You window shop every time, to stop and stare
You take in all the sights
Like you have no plans with me tonight

CHORUS:
This trip is takin’ way too long
We shoulda hit the Autobahn
The scenic route is fine when you got the time
But now the moment’s gone
Away

When I saw you I knew it
When it’s right there’s nothing to it
Man, I thought I really blew it
But you just - slowed me down

You take the long way 'round
You see the sights, you hear the sounds
You look at all the lights
Like you got nowhere to be tonight

At the red lights
I can’t help but get lost in your eyes
I see our whole life
It cuts like a knife
Rings and balloons
Lazy afternoons
Coffee spoons

But at the green light
I hit the gas and fly through the night
I gotta get there
Run my hands through your hair
Feel flesh on flesh

I wanna take you there
Ooh do you dare
I wanna take you there

OUTRO:
Maybe if the sky was a little bluer
Maybe if my eyes were a little truer
Maybe if I had some more to give
We could drive all night
We could drive all night
