The long way home

I only just left her house
I bet her curtains will move if I turn around
But I've been here too many times
So now I worry a little less
I haven't been trying too hard I guess
It shouldn't be this easy to forget

Not the slightest sign of doubt
We've got the whole thing figured out
I'm gonna take the long way home tonight

I wish I just let us grow
Like that song you've heard on the radio
It keeps you hanging round for more
Guess it takes some time to know
And the night might be cruel when you're all alone
But it's no easy way to go

Not the slightest sign of doubt
Got the whole thing figured out
I'm gonna take the long way home

When I stop and turn around
My feet no longer touch the ground
Although I carry her weight around
