Taking a Detour on the Way Home

Taking a Detour on the Way Home

1. Taking a Detour on the Way Home

Taking a Detour on the Way Home

(verse 1)

I truly love this place right here

sitting in your floor, you on your bed

me reading your manga

we grew up together, so I guess we are close

how long have you felt the way that you confessed?

was it that time I fell asleep on your shoulder during Casablanca?

you and me too, I guess we need what everyone else in the world does

I need some time to think

does my dream cross with yours and the stars?

(chorus)

taking a detour on, taking a detour on

taking a detour on the way home from your house

I guess I like the thought

I guess I just fell in love with the guy who's always been around in my life

can you be (can you be), can you be the only one for me?

do you see the same future that I see?

so loving, so caring, you and me, so protecting

I want to be stronger for you and me

ohh, I truly love this place right here

ooh, one more time, I'll meet you there

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

was the ivy on that bank vibrantly so green?

has the sky always been this blue?

my heart woke up under my red scarf, and it was like a movie scene

I've always liked you, and no matter what you do

I didn't want to complicate, I just wanted to be by your side

that person that I hurt

by not being true to myself, I pull at my skirt

it was then I smelled a familiar manly scent

I looked down, and I had borrowed your shirt

(chorus)

this road I'm walking on, this road I'm walking on

how many times have we stood here together?

passing the same stores, chatting with the same neighbors

I can't believe I hadn't noticed you more

the light wind says (the light wind says), you will always be with me

I turn around, back into town, I fell down, but I finally found

the man I need to see more

(end chorus)

(bridge)

I'm sorry that I'm just so dim

maybe he's just too bright, yes, it's him

I knock on the door I used to just barge through

wrap your arms around me, then one becomes two

our first kiss, I love this

it's where I've searched for to belong

but you're wrong, I've liked you all along

does this mean we're going out?

the wind was telling me, the wind was telling me

it sounded like your voice, I looked back on the street

I needed to be with you

I need to see this version of the future through

(chorus)

taking a detour on, taking a detour on

taking a detour on the way home from your house

I guess I like the thought

I guess I just fell in love with the guy who's always been around in my life

can you be (can you be), can you be the only one for me?

do you see the same future that I see?

so loving, so caring, you and me, so protecting

I want to be stronger for you and me

ohh, I truly love this place right here

ooh, one more time, I'll meet you there

ohh, I truly love this place right here

(end chorus)
