Long way home
Lucas Steve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

End of the night
I put my jacket on, callin' a cab
Waitin' outside
You nearly passed me, but then you asked
If I had a light
I told a joke and we shared a smoke or five

I said I ain't got a plan
But we could hang out 'til the morning
'Cause I don't wanna leave you now

Let's take the long way home
Just a little more time alone
I don't ever wanna let you go
Let's take the long way home
Let's take the long way home
I'm not ready to be alone
I don't ever wanna let you go
Let's take the long way home

I took your hand
You said I moved a little too fast
So I gave it back
You said somebody had hurt you before
And it cut you real bad
But he don't deserve you, you're gonna learn
I'd never do that

I said I ain't got a plan
But we could hang out 'til the morning
'Cause I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you now

Let's take the long way home
Just a little more time alone
I don't ever wanna let you go
Let's take the long way home
Let's take the long way home
I'm not ready to be alone
I don't ever wanna let you go
Let's take the long way home

Let's take the long way home
Just a little more time alone
I don't ever wanna let you go
Let's take the long way home





Let's take the long way home

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Long Way Home" by Lucas & Steve, the singer speaks about the end of the night when he meets someone he's interested in. He puts on his jacket and goes outside, where he nearly passes her by before she asks for a light. They share a cigarette and a joke, and he suggests they hang out until morning because he doesn't want to leave her. They take the long way home because the singer isn't ready to be alone, and he doesn't want to lose her.


The singer takes her hand, but she tells him he's moving too fast, so he gives it back. She explains that someone hurt her before, but the singer assures her he would never do that to her. He just wants to spend more time with her and not let her go.


Overall, the song is about taking chances and finding connections with someone, even if you don't know what the outcome will be. The singer is willing to take the long way home and hang out until morning because he wants to spend time with this person and see where it goes.
