Lyrics
Mm, mm-mm Saturday, ten years later, gold light on the almond rows Highway thirty-three, and you say, "Jo, you're going slow" Name tag's in my purse, my last name spelled right You ask what I never told him on graduation night We stopped at the honey stand, he held my cap A bee on the orange-crate label, peeling at the back You say, "You're shaking." I say, "It's the heat." You say, "We're early." I say, "Good, I need the beat." I'm fine, I just took the long way Past the fields where we used to stay Ten years of words I didn't say I'm fine, I just took the long way There's the stand, same label, someone's kid at the till I buy a jar, it's warm from the sun, and I'm standing still He said, "Call me," and I said, "Sure," like it was small I had it on my tongue the whole way home, that's all Yeah, I'm a grown woman, I pay my own bills And I'm hiding behind a jar of honey on a hill I'm fine, I just took the long way Past the fields where we used to stay Ten years of words I didn't say I'm fine, I just took the long way I don't need him to say it back I just need to say it plain One time, out loud, and walk right in Or turn around and drive again I'm fine, I finally took the long way Past the fields where we used to stay Ten years of words, and now I'll say I'm fine, I just took the long way
