[LYRICS]
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I drove past that turn again tonight
The one with the broken yellow blinking light
My hands just froze upon the wheel
It’s been three years, I shouldn't feel...
The way the heater smells like dust and rain
The way this silence screams your name
I swore I’d take the interstate
But I’m just a sucker for this twisted fate

[Pre-Chorus]
The dashboard glow is the only ghost I see
Sitting right there in the passenger seat
Next to me...
(Right next to me)

[Chorus]
SO I TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME!
Just to see if the porch light is still on!
I’m burning gas just to burn a hole in my chest!
Put this memory to the test!
Yeah, I take the long way home!
Cause I’m too scared to be alone!
(Whoa-oh-oh!)

[Verse 2]
I remember the carvings on the dashboard plastic
We were young and dramatic, a little bit drastic
You said "Forever" but you meant "Until I leave"
Now I’m wearing my heart on a torn-up sleeve
The radio plays that song we used to hate
But I listen to the static just to feel the weight

[Pre-Chorus]
The dashboard glow is the only ghost I see!
Sitting right there in the passenger seat!
Next to me!

[Chorus]
SO I TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME!
Just to see if the porch light is still on!
I’m burning gas just to burn a hole in my chest!
Put this memory to the test!
Yeah, I take the long way home!
Cause I’m too scared to be alone!

[Bridge]
It’s a green light... (Don’t go)
It’s a red light... (Stop)
I’m spinning out... (I’m spinning out!)
I AM SPINNING OUT!
WHY DID YOU LEAVE?!
WHY DID YOU LEAVE?!

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
SO I TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME!
(I take it every night!)
Just to see if the porch light is still on!
I’m burning gas just to burn a hole in my chest!
Put this memory to the test!
Yeah, I take the long way home!

[Outro]
The porch light is off.
Yeah... the porch light is off.
