Long way home
I.V. Lab Lyrics

We're taking the long way home
We are choosing a longer and more scenic route to go back to our usual place of comfort and familiarity.

Taking the long way home
Continuing on the extended path towards reaching our destination and finding solace.

Take me back to the middle of nowhere
Return me to that secluded and peaceful place where solitude was only shared between you and me.

Back to the place only you and I share
Returning to the location that holds special meaning and intimacy in our relationship.

Remember all the memories?
Recall the cherished moments and experiences we have had together.

The fireflies and make-believe
Reflect on the enchantment of catching fireflies and the world we created in our imaginations.

Kicking back in the old school yard
Relaxing and reminiscing in the familiarity of our past, particularly in the schoolyard.

Singing songs on our guitars
Expressing ourselves through music by playing and singing songs on our guitars.

This is our reality
Acknowledging that our shared experiences and connection are what truly define our existence.

Crazy stupid, you and me
Embracing the unconventional, nonsensical, yet wonderful nature of our relationship.

We know this is the way it's supposed to be
Having a deep understanding and belief that this path we're on is the right one for us.

So we're taking the long way home
Thus, we continue to follow the extended route back to our comforting space.

'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
Preferring to spend time with you and not allowing precious moments to slip away in solitude.

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Desiring to embark on endless journeys and adventures together, knowing that getting lost is part of the joy.

Talkin' bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
Engaging in conversations about trivial matters, fully accepting and enjoying the light-heartedness of it all.

So we're taking the long way home tonight
In this particular instance, we are deliberately choosing the longer route back to our safe haven.

Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
Presently finding ourselves in an unfamiliar and remote location.

Yeah, you know we took our time to get there
Acknowledging that it took us a while to reach this point in our journey.

We're hiding out in a dream
Finding solace and escape within our own shared dreams and aspirations.

Catching fire like kerosene
Experiencing an intense and passionate connection that ignites like a highly flammable substance.

And you know I'd never let you down
Assuring you that I will always be there to support and stand by you.

'Til the sun comes up, we can own this town
Persisting in our endeavors together, knowing that we can take control and make our mark on the world until morning arrives.

Something like make-believe
Creating a reality reminiscent of a fictional world, where dreams can come true.

Living in a movie scene
Embracing the sensation of living within the vibrant and captivating moments of a cinematic experience.

Hitting every red light
Encountering obstacles and delays at every turn.

Kissing at the stop signs, darling
Embracing moments of intimacy and affection at unexpected pauses in our journey.

Green Day's on the radio
Enjoying the music of the band Green Day playing on the radio, adding to the atmosphere of contentment.

And everything is alright
Feeling a sense of calm and reassurance, knowing that despite the challenges, everything will be fine.

Now we're turning off the headlights, darling
Symbolically dimming the lights, embracing a slower and more intimate pace of our journey.

We're just taking it slow
Deliberately choosing to proceed at a leisurely pace, savoring every moment and not rushing towards our destination.

We're taking the long way home
Continuing to follow the extended path that leads us back to our place of comfort and belonging.

We're taking the long way home
Persisting on the journey that may be longer but ultimately more fulfilling.

Taking the long way home
Choosing the extended route back to our familiar dwelling.
