The Way Home

about

Written Sept. 2013. This is about being in the car with someone you think is really cool, and wanting to spend as much time with them as you can. Special thanks to Stevie Nicks and Bono.

lyrics

Get in this car and let me drive you home.
It's getting dark and I won't have you walking that far alone.
Throw my guitar in the back, now there's plenty of room.
I've been working up the nerve to get you alone.
It seems we always have different places we need to go.
Any time I get with you, it ends too soon.

It doesn't matter which road we take.
I just don't want you to feel alone.
You'll never take me out of my way.
Your way is my way, my way home.

We can listen to the radio.
We can try our best to sound like Stevie Nicks and Bono.
And I'll take the long way, if you don't mind taking it with me.
We might have to stop at the tracks for a train.
My windshield wipers may not work if it starts to rain.
But I don't mind the wait if you're in that passenger seat.

It doesn't matter which road we take.
I just don't want you to feel alone.
You'll never take me out of my way.
Your way is my way, my way home.

I won't lie, there've been nights when I can't sleep.
I head to town, and I hit every street.
I pass your house and wonder if you're awake.

You probably think I'm too weird.
You probably can't wait to get the hell away from here.
But I'll take your hand, take you anywhere.
I only need one hand to steer.

It doesn't matter which road I take.
I just don't wanna be alone.
You'll never take me out of your way.
Cuz your way is my way, my way home.
Yeah, your way is my way, my way home.
On nights when I can't sleep, I have to hit your street to get back home.
