Can we take the long way home
'Cause moments like this
Are hard to hold on to
I know it's not easy on your own
When the pieces don't fit
That's all we've ever known, it's all
I'll be holding on to you
If it's the last thing that I ever do

(Hey la la la la la)
You'll be my only ticket home
(Hey la la la la la)
I need to feel a heart I know
(Hey la la la la la)
Soon we will never be alone
(Hey la la la la la)
You'll be my only ticket home

Oh, I've been away for so long
It's like I'm the ghost in your bedroom
But that never keeps you warm
I'm so sick of happy sad songs
They don't work like they used to
And they don't mean a thing without you

(Hey la la la la la)
You'll be my only ticket home
(Hey la la la la la)
I need to feel a heart I know
(Hey la la la la la)
Soon we will never be alone
(Hey la la la la la)
You'll be my only ticket home
You'll be my only ticket home
My only ticket home
(Hey la la la la la)
Soon we will never be alone
(Hey la la la la la)

Can we take the long way home
'Cause moments like this
I had to let them go
