Lyrics to We Can Take The Long Way by Jason Mraz
[Love Someone]
Love is a funny thing
Whenever I give it, it comes back to me
And it's wonderful to be
Giving 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
As 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
[Hello, You Beautiful Thing]
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
And 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 plaque of the night from the dirt
I can see from the depths of my re-adjustinized 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 quit 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
Oh, this is what I've been waiting for
(This is what I've been waiting for)
Oh, this is what I've been waiting for
(This is what I've been waiting for)
Oh, this is what i've been waiting for
(This is what I've been waiting for)
Oh, 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 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 could 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 could take the long way.
Drive a little slower, not ready to go home,
I’d rather stay with you.
We could 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.
Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we’re going.
Take the long way.
Drive a little slower; don’t matter where we going now.
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.
Long drive, long night,
The best night of my life.
