Laurel Canyon Lyrics by Van Buren

The Long Way Home

2023

[Verse 1]
Up on Laurel Canyon
As the night is ending, headed back to your place
I know that we′ll hit traffic
But I like to look at mountains and overpriced real estate
I swear that I don't mind it
Cause the view from Mulholland is better now that I′m with you
Looking out at the skyline
Feels like the first time I got something to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
You could call it butterflies or love in the air
With the windows down and the wind in your hair
Maybe we could make this moment last all night
[Chorus]
Oh, I'll bet the freeway's free but baby
I′ve gotta see where this′ll take mе
So let's go the long way
It might be thе wrong way home
Cause you gave me a kiss that left me floating
Sun′s coming up, ain't letting go yet
So let′s go the wrong way
Let's take the long way home
Yeah I′ll take the long way
Yeah I'll take the long way
[Verse 2]
You got me thinking bout the future
Maybe settle down, a couple steps from the beach
We could take the city
And shrink it all down like it's only made for you and me
Cause I wanna sleep until noon and make coffee for two
And go to dinner out of the blue
But for now i′ll just keep taking side streets so
I can get a few more minutes with you
[Pre-Chorus]
You could call it butterflies or love in the air
With the windows down and the wind in your hair
Maybe we could make this memory last forever
[Chorus]
Oh, I′ll bet the freeway's free but baby
I′ve gotta see where this'll take me
So let′s go the long way
It might be the wrong way home
Cause you gave me a kiss that left me floating
Sun's coming up, ain′t letting go yet
So let's go the wrong way
Let's take the long way home
Yeah I′ll take the long way
Yeah I′ll take the long way
[Chorus]
So, I'll bet the freeway′s free but baby
I've gotta see where this′ll take me
So let's go the long way
It might be the wrong way home
Cause you gave me a kiss that left me floating
Sun′s coming up, ain't letting go yet
So let's go the wrong way
Let′s take the long way home
Yeah I′ll take the long way
(The long way home)
Yeah I'll take the long way
(The long way home)
