[Verse 1]
Roller coaster ride and I've been coastin'
Tryin' hard to forget
Going back and forth and you're ignorin'
Was it something I said?

[Pre-Chorus]
Turnin' pages, gettin' by
I'll be patient and you take your time

[Chorus]
If you wanna take the long way
Then, baby, that's okay
Out to Brooklyn, back to Broadway
Could you help me navigate?
Try not to get too lost in the distance
You'll never know just what you were missing
If you wanna take the long way
Then that's the way we'll take

[Verse 2]
Tryin' not to keep it complicated
I'ma leave it instead
Paint the picture, I'm there walkin' with you
Alleyways and dead ends
[Pre-Chorus]
Turnin' pages, gettin' by
I'll be patient and you take your time

[Chorus]
If you wanna take the long way
Then, baby, that's okay
Out to Brooklyn, back to Broadway
Could you help me navigate?
Try not to get too lost in the distance
You'll never know just what you were missing
If you wanna take the long way
Then that's the way we'll take
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
Who knows where we're goin'
Or what it'll take?
Waitin' on the moment
But it's not today

[Chorus]
If you wanna take the long way
Then, baby, that's okay
Out to Brooklyn, back to Broadway
Could you help me navigate?
Try not to get too lost in the distance
You'll never know just what you were missing
If you wanna take the long way
Then that's the way we'll take
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
If you wanna take the long way (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Then that's the way we'll take
