[Intro]
One, two, three, four!

[Verse 1]
We packed the van with maps and bread
A cracked compass above my head
Your brother waved from the corner store
We hit the highway, asking for more

[Pre-Chorus]
Past the county line, the rain came down
We laughed so hard we missed the turn around

[Chorus]
Take the long way, take the steep climb
Every wrong turn gets us more time
With your hand out the window, shouting my name
We’re not lost—we’re out here making a way

[Verse 2]
At milepost nine, the engine coughed
We pushed it laughing, our jackets soaked
A farmer lent us a chain and a light
We made the coast by the edge of night

[Pre-Chorus]
Salt on our sleeves, sand in our shoes
No one back home gets to pick what we choose

[Chorus]
Take the long way, take the steep climb
Every wrong turn gets us more time
With your hand out the window, shouting my name
We’re not lost—we’re out here making a way

[Bridge]
When the map runs out, we’ll draw another
When the road breaks off, we’ll cross together
No finish line, no perfect plan
Just one more mile and a place to stand

[Final Chorus]
Take the long way, take the steep climb
Every wrong turn gets us more time
With your hand out the window, shouting my name
We’re not lost—we’re out here making a way
Take the long way, let the old roads fade
We’ll tell this story with the dents we made
With your hand out the window, shouting my name
We’re not lost—we’re out here making a way

[Outro]
One more mile!
One more mile!
