These Days

let's take the long way home tonight

and just cruise along the boulevards

let's shine a little, we're the street lights

and dream ourselves away to mars

let's follow all the stars above

or maybe take the subway home

these days are mine

and I'm gonna take it slow

like the peaceful waters flow

I'll make it up as I go

that's all I really know

so let's take the long way home

let's cry a little if we wanna

or laugh out loud the best we can

let's meet the comfort of convenience

and search a silence deep within

Let's stay a while and take it easy

if that's something you can overcome

let's take a minute just to slip away

and linger here before it's gone

these days are mine

and I'm gonna take it slow

like the peaceful waters flow

I'll make it up as I go

that's all I really know

so let's take the long way home
