The Long Way Home
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Streetlights are closing one by one
Footsteps slow down when we're done talking
You take the long way round on purpose
I never ask why, I just come

[Pre-chorus]
Cold air, but your hand stays warm
Nobody's out but the both of us
Say the word and we'll keep walking

[Chorus]
Ivy, the dark doesn't scare me now
Something in the quiet feels like a vow
Every street looks softer with you beside me
Ivy, I'd walk this way somehow

[Verse 2]
You hum something I don't know the name of
Your coat's too thin but you won't say
I count the doors until we're home
Slower than I need to, every day

[Bridge]
Whatever waits behind that door can wait
We're not in a hurry, we never were
This is the part I don't rush through
This is the part I'd choose to repeat

[Chorus]
Ivy, the dark doesn't scare me now
Something in the quiet feels like a vow
Every street looks softer with you beside me
Ivy, I'd walk this way somehow

[Outro]
The lights go out behind us one by one
Still your hand is the warmest thing I've held
