[Verse 1: Joe Jonas]
I think I saw you on the subway
Riding my way home from work
Probably got yourself a new boyfriend
Honestly, I can't be sure
[Pre-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why am I stuck on you?
Mmm, mmm
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why am I drunk on you?
Mmm, oh, I guess
[Chorus: Joe Jonas]
It's gonna take me longer than I thought to get over you
I would have liked to hit the ground running, but I fell into you
Wanted to call you, but now it's overdue
It's gonna take me longer than I thought, oh, to get over you
[Post-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Mmm, to get over you
When it comes to us two
Oh, to get over you
[Verse 2: Emma Lov]
You were a bruise that I forgot about
'Til I land on it again
And I keep running out of distractions, oh
And I keep running into your friends
[Pre-Chorus: Emma Lov & Joe Jonas]
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why am I stuck on you?
Mmm, mmm
Oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why am I drunk on you?
Mmm, oh, I guess
[Chorus: Emma Lov & Joe Jonas]
It's gonna take me longer than I thought to get over you
I would have liked to hit the ground running, but I fell into you
Wanted to call you, but now it's overdue
It's gonna take me longer than I thought, oh, to get over you
[Post-Chorus: Joe Jonas]
Mmm, to get over you
When it comes to us two
Oh, to get over you
[Bridge: Joe Jonas]
We should talk it over
Only if you want to
'Cause looking in the rear view, I still see you, babe
Don't you think about it
Don't you second-guess it
'Cause looking in the rear view, I still see you, babe
Now I think I'm gonna take the long way home
Said I think I'm gonna take the long way home
[Chorus: Joe Jonas]
'Cause it's gonna take me longer than I thought to get over you
I would have liked to hit the ground running
Wanted to call you, but now it's overdue
It's gonna take me longer than I thought, oh, to get over you
[Post-Chorus: Emma Lov & Joe Jonas]
Mmm, to get over you
Mmm, when it comes to us two
Oh, to get over you
[Outro: Emma Lov & Joe Jonas]
We should talk it over
Only if you want to
'Cause looking in the rear view, I still see you, babe
Don't you think about it
Don't you second-guess it
'Cause looking in the rear view, I still see you, babe
Now I think I'm gonna take the long way home
