The Long Way Home - Norah Jones

Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road tonight Make a left by the corner store, go somewhere we've never been before We, we got plenty of time There's a place by the lemon trees we can sit all night making memories With the stars in our eyes It's getting late, but I'm still wide awake I just can't hit the brakes with you Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road, every moment's holy Baby, I've been waiting all my life to waste my time on you Take the long way home tonight Golden hour's afterglow, Fleetwood Mac's on the radio Singing sweet little lies Seats pulled back, and the moon is low, time moves fast, but we take it slow Now the world's outta sight It's getting late, but I'm still wide awake I just can't hit the brakes with you Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road, every moment's holy Baby, I've been waiting all my life to waste my time on you Take the long way home tonight (Long way home) I'm gonna take the long way home I'm gonna take the long way tonight Let's take the long way home, love is burning slowly Down this country road tonight

In the daily rush of things If we stop to think it seems We never have time alone Doing things we have to do Not much time for me and you Before me know it, it will all be gone Let's take the long way around the world Sharing each other as we go Let's take the long way around the world And let's take it real slow I get hungry just to talk Take your hand and take a wake I never have you to myself enough The two of us are really one And when it's all said and done The only thing that really lasts is love Let's take the long way around the world Sharing each other as we go Let's take the long way around the world And let's take it real slow (Repeat twice to fade)

Six beers, five guys And if I remember right It was a Wednesday when we got our buzz off A second-hand six pack Half smoked, soft pack Light it up, boys take a drag And when I fought that cough off everyone else thought I was so damn cool My head was spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl Yeah, man it really rocked my world Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger Back when the weekend lasted a little bit longer I can't tell you why they did But things seemed to never end back then Oh, way back when When a little went a long way One girl, and 45 bucks was all it took that night Hit the steak house, make-out in the movies Way up in the back Credits roll, on pace To make it all the way to second base Tried to play it cool like it was nothing new And she didn't have clue And my head was spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl Yeah, man she really rocked my world Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger Back when the weekend lasted a little bit longer I can't tell you why they did But things seemed to never end back then Oh, way back when When a little went a long way Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger Back when the weekend lasted a little bit longer I can't tell you why they did But things seemed to never end back then Oh, way back when When a little went a long way A long, long way A long way

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
