[Verse 1]
Is it me, or does everybody look exactly the same?
In a house, on a couch, making out, playing dangerous games
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So if I'm bein' honest
I really wanna leave this party
So how 'bout you start it up?
[Chorus]
We can take the long way home
Down every goin'-nowhere-road
I don't mind the traffic lights
They're givin' me more time to kiss you slow
We can take the long way home
Mama doesn't need to know
Can you give me that speed?
Small town streets, young and free
You and me and the radio
Let's take the long way home
The long way home
[Verse 2]
We can say we ran outta gas, got lost, and had a flat tire (Oops)
11:59 pullin' in the drive, down to the wire
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's no way we can stay at the party
Baby, drive this Kia like an Audi
I'm 'bout to start it up
[Chorus]
We can take the long way home
Down every goin'-nowhere-road
I don't mind the traffic lights
They're givin' me more time to kiss you slow (More time to kiss you slow)
We can take the long way home
Mama doesn't need to know (Know)
Can you give me that speed?
Small town streets, young and free
You and me and the radio
Let's take the long way home
The long way home
[Bridge]
We can take the back roads
We can take the highway
I can go yours, you can go my way
I can go yours, you can go my way
We can take the back roads
We can take the highway
I can go yours, you can go my way
I can go yours, you can go my way (Whoa)
My way, my, way, my way, my way
[Chorus]
We can take the long way home
Down every goin'-nowhere-road
I don't mind the traffic lights
They're givin' me more time to kiss you slow
We can take the long way home
Mama doesn't need to know
Can you give me that speed?
Small town streets, young and free
You and me and the radio
Let's take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
Let's take the long way home
The long way home

What did Brynn Cartelli say about "Long Way Home"?
“Long Way Home” is the first story I wanted to share off of my next project. I will never forget the day I wrote it with Nathan Chapman in Nashville, going around the studio and using random items as percussion. What started as a slow, weirdly depressing idea on piano (as almost all of my songs do)...
What have the artists said about the filming process of the music video?
I was really nervous to ask my friends from home because I usually like to keep my life separate.
It’s like, you know, I get to be typical teenager and I get to do the music thing. And sometimes they don’t usually cross and I kinda like it that way, but I was like, you know what? I would really lov...
What have the artists said about the song?
Well, as all of my songs are kind of based on true stories, I think that [Long Way Home] definitely hits home with it. It’s a wink to the rush of young love in a small town.
I grew up in a small town and there’s not a lot of things we can do. So, sometimes the most fun thing ever is to just drive a...
What have the artists said about the song?
“Long Way Home” was just, it was one of those days. I was out in Nashville writing with Nathan Chapman and we were kind of struggling to find something to write about. It had been a long week for me and I was like, okay, let’s just kind of write something, we were just fishing around, he left the ro...
