Long Way Home Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Intro]
Ooh, ah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
We were living clueless, reckless, ignorant
You always act a fool when you're lit, you're belligerent
I didn't have to view 'bout a thing, I was innocent
So if it's red or blue, wouldn't know what the difference is
[Pre-Chorus]
When we're in my ride, Sunset Drive
Like we're on the freeway goin' thirty-five
Took this exit just to hit a one-eighty
'Cause the night's not done 'til we say it is
[Chorus]
And the party don't stop 'til it's over
And the bottle don't stop 'til it's almost gone
You say you gotta mix the whiskey and the soda
Oh, it's gonna be a long way home
You know I'm with whatever you say
You know I wouldn't have it no other way
They say it's ninety-nine degrees in Arizona
Oh, it's gonna be a long way home
[Verse 2]
We just took a tab, now we're breakin' out the Matrix
I feel so connected when we're vibin' on the same trip
Tried to call a cab, but it turned into a spaceship
Oh, make you feel the safest
[Pre-Chorus]
When we're in my ride, Sunset Drive
Like we're on the freeway goin' thirty-five (Oh, yeah)
Took this exit just to hit a one-eighty
'Cause the night's not done 'til we say it is
[Chorus]
And the party don't stop 'til it's over
And the bottle don't stop 'til it's almost gone
You say you gotta mix the whiskey and the soda
Oh, it's gonna be a long way home
You know I'm with whatever you say
You know I wouldn't have it no other way
They say it's ninety-nine degrees in Arizona
Oh, it's gonna be a long way home
[Outro]
It's gonna be a long way home
Be a long way home
Oh yeah
Oh, it's gonna be a long way home
[Verse 1: Khalid]
In this verse, Khalid reminisces about a time of naive excitement and uninhibited behavior. He describes how he and his companions lived recklessly, with little regard for the consequences. This sense of ignorance and carelessness is contrasted with the more grounded perspective he might have now.
[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
The pre-chorus paints a vivid picture of driving down Sunset Drive, symbolizing a carefree, adventurous spirit. The imagery of taking a dramatic exit and speeding through the night captures the excitement and spontaneity of their experience, highlighting their desire to make the most of the night.
[Chorus: Khalid]
The chorus reflects the ongoing party atmosphere and the commitment to enjoying the night to its fullest. Khalid emphasizes the endless nature of the celebration and the enjoyment of mixing drinks and living in the moment, despite the long journey home that awaits. The reference to the heat in Arizona adds to the sense of a relentless, immersive experience.
[Verse 2: Khalid]
In this verse, Khalid describes a surreal experience of taking a tab and feeling a heightened connection, almost as if they are escaping reality itself. The playful imagery of a spaceship further emphasizes the sense of escapism and the extraordinary nature of their night out.
[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]
The repetition of the pre-chorus reinforces the sense of adventure and the thrill of the night. It underlines the idea that their enjoyment is not bound by conventional limits, and they are fully immersed in the experience.
[Chorus: Khalid]
The chorus is repeated to emphasize the ongoing nature of their party and the commitment to prolonging the fun. It captures the essence of living in the moment and the anticipation of the journey back home, which is portrayed as a long but worthwhile conclusion to their night.
[Outro: Khalid]
The outro echoes the anticipation of the long journey home, bringing the song full circle. It reflects the lingering excitement and the acknowledgment that, despite the eventual return to reality, the night was worth the ride.
