歌詞
[Instrumental Intro – warm synth melody, soft pads, bass gradually entering]
[Verse 1 – intimate male vocal]
We took the road beside the sea,
You hummed the tune along with me.
I missed the turning by your door,
You smiled and said, “A little more.”
[Chorus – warm, restrained male singing]
Let's take the long way home,
There's nothing we have to do.
I want a little more time,
A little more time with you.
[Instrumental Break – 16 bars, main synth melody, airy female vocal textures]
[Verse 2]
We left the car above the bay,
And watched the daylight fade away.
You leaned against my shoulder then,
And I felt close to you again.
[Chorus]
Let's take the long way home,
There's nothing we have to do.
I want a little more time,
A little more time with you.
[Extended Instrumental Interlude – melodic synth variations, deep bass, gentle female humming]
[Bridge – softly sung, sparse accompaniment]
You said, “Let's do this more often.”
I said, “Just tell me when.”
[Final Chorus – male lead, soft female wordless harmonies]
Let's take the long way home,
There's nothing we have to do.
I want a little more time,
A little more time with you.
[Outro – intimate male vocal]
A little more time with you…
[Extended Instrumental Outro – main melody returning, gentle fade]
[Verse 1 – intimate male vocal]
We took the road beside the sea,
You hummed the tune along with me.
I missed the turning by your door,
You smiled and said, “A little more.”
[Chorus – warm, restrained male singing]
Let's take the long way home,
There's nothing we have to do.
I want a little more time,
A little more time with you.
[Instrumental Break – 16 bars, main synth melody, airy female vocal textures]
[Verse 2]
We left the car above the bay,
And watched the daylight fade away.
You leaned against my shoulder then,
And I felt close to you again.
[Chorus]
Let's take the long way home,
There's nothing we have to do.
I want a little more time,
A little more time with you.
[Extended Instrumental Interlude – melodic synth variations, deep bass, gentle female humming]
[Bridge – softly sung, sparse accompaniment]
You said, “Let's do this more often.”
I said, “Just tell me when.”
[Final Chorus – male lead, soft female wordless harmonies]
Let's take the long way home,
There's nothing we have to do.
I want a little more time,
A little more time with you.
[Outro – intimate male vocal]
A little more time with you…
[Extended Instrumental Outro – main melody returning, gentle fade]
音楽のスタイル
Melodic deep house with subtle retro-disco warmth, 120 BPM, 4/4. Intimate male baritone, warm low register, light natural husk, clear English diction, softly sung connected phrases. Restrained airy female wordless harmonies in the background. Rounded sub-bass, soft four-on-the-floor kick, light clap, delicate shuffled hi-hats, muted plucked synth chords and spacious warm pads. An original memorable minor-key synth melody with a rounded tone, gentle portamento and echo leads the intro and returns in extended instrumental breaks. Tender, nostalgic, quietly hopeful mood. Simple four-line chorus, breathing room between phrases, subtle stereo delay on vocal endings. Gentle sidechain movement, intimate breakdown, gradually fuller final section and a lingering melodic outro. Keep the groove steady and the melody prominent. No belting, growling, piercing vocals, busy percussion or explosive EDM drops. Around four minutes.
