Why'd you take the long way home
I watched you walk slow past my window
Is that what you did it for?
I think it's best you left me alone
You know I'm bound to make you cry
From up here I can see the car line
I can see the louvre shining in your eyes
I never meant to set the world on fire
Just wanted something you'd remember me by
But now I wish that I was on the brightside
These friends of mine could spend a whole night dreaming
While you're holding me tight under the moonlight
Just you and I, we'll lead a new life singing
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
You know I think it says a lot
That I could wake myself up from this dream
That had the things that are most dear to me
Although I could have loved you better
I had to get the fuck out of the bed
'Cause there's just something 'bout you, my love
Something in the way you comb your hair
And fall apart
At the seams
When you were young
I used to throw you down
You'd show me how it feels to feel
Oh god, I wish that I was on the brightside
These friends of mine could spend a whole night Dreaming
While you're holding me tight under the moonlight
Just you and me babe, we'll spend our whole life Singing
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
Look at you!
And look at you!
Look at you!
And look at you!
