Detour Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to take the roads without a twist or bend
Drivin' with my eyes closed, I could see the end
I was goin' somewhere, thought I'd find it when I got there
Not supposed to cry when all the skies are blue
I was disappointed when I saw the view
So I threw my map away, and that's the way I stumbled into you

[Chorus]
I don't mind, I don't mind a detour
I don't mind the wrong way home
I'm never lost long as your heart isn't in the dark
And as long as I still get to be yours
I don't mind a detour

[Verse 2]
I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't scared
You seem so okay with being unpreparеd
We'll take our time, еnjoy the ride
If it's around the corner, I don't even care

[Chorus]
I don't mind, I don't mind a detour
I don't mind the wrong way home
I'm never lost long as your heart isn't in the dark
And as long as I still get to be yours
I don't mind a detour
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Might take the long way, it ain't the wrong way
Might take the long way, it ain't the wrong way home
It ain't the wrong way home
Might take the long way, it ain't the wrong way
Might take the long way, it ain't the wrong way home
It ain't the wrong way home

[Chorus]
Hm, I don't mind, I don't mind a detour
I don't mind the wrong way home
I'm never lost long as your heart isn't in the dark
And as long as I still get to be yours
I don't mind a detour

[Outro]
Hm
Ah, oh
Oh, oh
Hm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
