Long Drive
Jason Mraz Lyrics

Long drive, long night
We're on a long drive through the night and it feels endless.

The best night of my life,
This is the best night of my life, thanks to you.

With you riding, your hand on my hand
You're here with me and our hands are intertwined as we drive.

The thought of arriving, kind of feels like, dying
The excitement of finally arriving is almost too much for me to handle.

I don't want, to go home and be, alone
I don't want to go home because then I'd be without you and that thought is unbearable.

Could we, stay out?
Can we extend our trip and not go back just yet?

Could you, drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going,
Can you drive a bit slower, it doesn't matter where we're heading as long as we're together.

As long as I'm with you, we could take the long way
I'm happy to take the scenic route as long as you're beside me.

Chevy Nova, front seat, sofa, getting closer, to you
We're in the front seat of a Chevy Nova, on a sofa, gradually getting closer to one another.

Drive a little slower, not ready to go home,
Can you slow down a bit more, I'm not ready to go back just yet.

I'd rather stay with you
I'd prefer to stay with you and continue this journey together.

We could take the long way, to the country out of town
We could opt for a longer route, towards the rural part of town.

Let's get lost, I don't wanna be found
Let's take a wrong turn and get lost, I don't want this moment to end.

Let's get away now and be careful not to crash
Let's get away now but drive cautiously, we don't want to crash.

There's no defrost and we're steaming the glass
The windshield is fogged up and we're making it worse with our heat of the moment.

You and the road have a generous shoulder
The road is wide and spacious, and there's enough room on the shoulder for us to pull over.

We can pull over and say we took the long way
We can stop along the way and proudly declare that we took the scenic route.

Headlights, strobe lights,
As we drive, I can see the headlights and strobe lights flashing by.

I see you, but not quite
I can see you, but not clearly because of the lights and how fast we're moving.

I can feel you inside, the timing is just right
I can feel your presence and it feels right, like the timing is perfect for us.

For the moment, I don't want to go home
Right now, all I want is to spend more time with you and not go back home.

Take the long way
Let's take the longer route.

Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going going now
Can you please drive slower, it doesn't matter where we're headed right now.

I'd rather stay with you
I'd rather be with you and continue this drive.

We can take the long way
Let's take the longer, scenic way.

Long drive, long night,
The night feels never-ending as we continue our long drive together.

The best night of my life
This is by far the most amazing night of my life, all thanks to you.
