MIKEY’S P.O.V

‘’THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO FELL IN LOVE WHILE TAKING THE LONG HOME” Luke’s voice rings out through the speakers around the hall. Screams erupt from the crowd as Ashton starts the drum beat.

Take me back to the middle

of nowhere

back to the place only you and I share

remember all the memories

the fire flies and make believes

Kicking back in the

old school yards

singing songs on our guitars

this is our reality.

Crazy stupid you and me

we know this is the way

it’s supposed to be

So were taking the long way home

cause I don’t wanna be wasting

my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive

forever with you

taking about nothing yeah

whatever baby

so were taking the long way home

(taking the long way home)

tonight (we’re taking the

long way home)

Now were stuck in the middle

of nowhere

yeah you know we only took our time

to get there

we’re hiding out in a dream

catching fire, like kerosene

and you know I’d never let you down

till the sun comes up.

We can own this town

something like make believe

living in a movie scene

we know this is the way

it’s supposed to be

We all pause right before the second chorus.

So were taking the long way home

cause I don’t wanna be wasting

my time alone

I wanna get lost and drive

forever with you

taking about nothing yeah

whatever baby

so were taking the long way home

(taking the long way home)

tonight (we’re taking the

long way home)

Hittin every stop light,

kissing at the stop sign’s darling

green day’s on the radio

and everything is alright

now we’re turning off the headlights darling

We’re just taking it slow
