lyrics

I heard you’re moving soon after tomorrow
Said you got some of your precious time left to borrow
Before we go and you leave this place abandoned
One thing I must confess to you my companion

Sometimes I danced and I prayed for rain
To change your mind about taking that train
I only ever stayed to take you out to roam
To get lost with you and take the wrong way home

We always hunted one white line after the other
We could’ve died so many times but we didn’t bother
Never lost in thought but we were always caught up in talking
Something always changed in me when away I saw you walking

The end of the road now is drawing near
Getting lost without you is still one of my biggest fears
You made me see I can’t be on my own
It’s why we made this turn baby and took the wrong way home

And last night you got into my car as I closed the door I put my foot down to the floor
You said “why don’t we take the long way ‘round, just like we did before?”

We got one last chance now to roam
All the streets we’ve known
And these lies will be outgrown
The way our dreams were blown
Let’s buy more time now we’re still alone
One more drive now taking the wrong way…
Come on and take the wrong way home…
