Long way home
Dayna Reid Lyrics

First breath of fresh air in a long time
Finally experiencing something refreshing and new after a prolonged period of stagnation and monotony

How lucky am I to say that you're all mine
Expressing gratitude and amazement at the fortune of having you completely and exclusively

My valentine
Endearing term to describe the significant other, emphasizing the depth of love and affection

Christmas lights are making your face glow
The luminosity of the festive decorations adds a radiant aura to your visage

Baby you're my angel in the snow
Comparing you to a celestial being that brings warmth and beauty amidst the cold winter landscape

And under mistletoe
Referring to the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe during the holiday season

Just can't wait till this party's over
Impatiently anticipating the conclusion of the event in order to have private time together

Sneak out the back door, you and me lover
Escaping discreetly through the rear exit, indulging in a secret rendezvous as passionate partners

Get in the car, put my head on your shoulder
Entering the vehicle and finding solace by resting my head upon your supportive shoulder

Take me the long way home
Requesting to be taken on a meandering route back to our residence, symbolizing a desire for a longer and more intimate journey

You're the same old flame under fireworks
Amidst the pyrotechnic display, your love remains as fiery and captivating as ever

Can't you feel the change in the universe
Sensing a profound shift or transformation occurring within the cosmic order

December 31st
Referring to New Year's Eve, the last day of the year

Countdown from 10 and you come a little closer
As the countdown to midnight begins, you gradually approach me, building anticipation and closeness

New year's kiss makes time move slower
The embrace and kiss shared at the stroke of midnight seemingly elongates time, creating a magical and timeless moment

I don't care if we make a few wrong turns
Expressing a willingness to encounter mistakes and detours along the way, as long as we are together

Pull off to the side let the gasoline burn
Stopping on the roadside and allowing the fuel to continue burning, highlighting a carefree and spontaneous attitude

Just take me, Take me the long way home
An emphatic plea to be led on a lengthy and intricate path back to our residence, with a deep longing and surrender

I live for the moments when it's just you and me
Finding immense joy and purpose in the times of solitude and intimacy that we share

Let's take our time 'cause I've never felt so free
Savoring each moment and embracing a leisurely pace, as it allows for a sense of liberation and boundlessness that has never been experienced before

When you take me the long way home
Reiterating the desire to be led on an extended, scenic route back to our abode by you

Home
A simple, profound declaration of an emotional and physical place of belonging and love
