Long way home

[Verse 1]
I took the long way home after the party
I see your pretty eyes smiling in the backseat
But I know you're not really there
It's just your ghost in my head playing games
So I close my eyes and pretend it's me and you again

[Chorus]
Oh, take me back to the first time you said, "I love you"
I just want to feel your heartbeat close to my body
God, I'm so mad at the world for taking you away, taking you away
Oh, take me back to the first time you said, "I love you"
Oh, I loved you

[Verse 2]
Knocked on the door and got met by the face of your parents
Saw that it brought thеm to tears when i brought a presеnt
I know that it's kind of weird to celebrate life without you (Life without, life without)
We all try to ignore the elephant in the room

[Chorus]
Oh, take me back to the first time you said, "I love you"
I just want to feel your heartbeat close to my body
God, I'm so mad at the world for taking you away, taking you away
Oh, take me back to the first time you said, "I love you"

[Outro]
Know I can't change the past or the pain
But I tried to talk to God, who
Said you will stay, that I'll be okay
I have to believe what He says

I took the long way home after the party
Looked in your eyes and I said, "I'll see you soon darling"
