we can take the long way

Jason Mraz

Love is a funny thing
Whenever I give it, it comes back to me
And it's wonderful to be
Giving it with my whole heart
As my heart receives
Your love

Oh, ain't it nice tonight we've got each other
And I am right beside you
More than just a partner or a lover
I'm your friend

When you love someone
Your heartbeat beats so loud
When you love someone
Your feet can't feel the ground

Shining stars all seem
To congregate around your face
When you love someone
It comes back to you

And love is a funny thing
It's making my blood flow with energy
And it's like an awakened dream
Is what I've been wishing for, is happening
And it's right on time

Oh ain't it nice this life we've got each other
And I am right beside you
More than just a partner or a lover
I'm your friend

When you love someone
Your heartbeat beats so loud
When you love someone
Your feet can't feel the ground

Shining stars all seem
To congregate around your face
When you love someone
When you love someone

We're gonna give ourselves to love tonight
Lifting up to touch the starlight
And we will savor every second
We suspend together
You and I will
You and I will
You and I will

When you love someone
Your heartbeat beats so loud
When you love someone
Your feet can't feel the ground

Shining stars all seem
To congregate around your face
When you love someone
It comes back to you

Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
Fancy, I woke up before my alarm
Brought my mind through my eyes
It's the best I can do
Before it's automatic, hand it over, turn it to you

Though her smile when it happens
Almost as if it was magic
It means there's a God somewhere and he's laughing
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen
Still low to the ground, but high on living

And I know, I know it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge some aches
It must be something I did yesterday
Pour a cup of liquid gold
Because my engine's still cold
But in a minute everything's gonna change

'Cause I know, I know it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for

Looking out from a cul de sac watching the band of the Earth
Take the black of the night from the dirt
I can see from the depths of my re-adjustinize of reflection
Of yes's and that ever changing sky
But why do bad dreams linger long after I awake?
And I don't need no sins or violence or pain replayed
And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray
But my thoughts are all I've got
So I try to make them brave

And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing

This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
This is what I've been waiting for
Hello

And I know, I know it's gonna be a good day
Hello, hello you beautiful thing

Long drive, long night
The best night of my life
With you riding, your hand on my hand

The thought of arriving, kind of feels like, dying
I don't want, to go home
And be, alone

Could we, stay out?
Could you, drive a little slower
Don't matter where we're going
As long as I'm with you
We can take the long way

Chevy Nova, front seat, sofa
Getting closer, to you

Drive a little slower
Don't matter where we're going
As long as I'm with you
We can take the long way

Drive a little slower
Not ready to go home
I'd rather stay with you
We can take the long way
To the country out of town

Let's get lost; I don't wanna be found
Let's get away now and be careful not to crash
There's no defrost and we're steaming the glass
You and the road have a generous shoulder
We can pull over
And say we took the long way

Headlights, not strobe lights
I can see you, but not quite
I can feel you inside
The timing is just right
For the moment, I don't want to go home
Take the long way
Take the long way now

Drive a little slower
Don't matter where we're going, going now

Drive a little slower
Don't matter where we're going, going now

Drive a little slower
Not ready to go home
I'd rather stay with you
We can take the long way

Long drive, long night
The best night of my life
