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)

Mystery Butterfly

Mystery Butterfly 1. Mystery Butterfly Mystery Butterfly (verse 1) open your shiny eyes in the silent night I swooped down into the mystery sneaking in alleyways without any sound of footsteps crouching my back in seductive black cat pose the moonlight carries a shadow on its back of my silhouette "come here" it smiles as it beckons to me it's tempting a contour of desire squirms in the sleepless city it wanders in the guise of a guardian angel to me it holds piece of love without a place to go in its arm as if they're precious treasures as you fall to sleep blissfully are you somewhere having a good dream ignorantly being happy as anyone would want the starry sky kisses you it's time for good children to go to bed to sleep (chorus) don't look at me, don't catch me don't try to be what's become of me I'm a butterfly who got lost in the dark freely singing with monochrome wings no one can see I'm hiding away in your heavy heart (end chorus) ...

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...
