Lyrics

Emma walked home on a Friday night
She took the long way
She wondered what's left in her pointless life
What's makin’ her stay

There wasn't anyone
Waiting for her at home
Anymore

She took the long way (way out)

Early next morning she packed a bag
Picked up her phone
Called her dad who lived down state
And he said come home

Everybody here misses your smile
And your frown
On the town

She took the long way (way back)

Emma stepped down off the bus
With sunlight on her face
She knew at once it was the best
Decision she’d ever made

She took the long way (way back)
