"Detour" lyrics

"Detour"

(Detour, detour)
Ooh, we got to make a detour
(Detour, detour)

The people try, but crash right down
Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage
We're all good people if you go deep down
But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age

Time for a detour
We oughta take the curve (Detour now)
Taking the detour
Ooh it's time for a swerve (Detour now)

The world's in a spin now
It's time for a change
We know we can win now
We'll share the wage, we cause no pain
We can explain, we lost the force, we went off course

Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
(Detour)
With a curve and a swerve (Detour)
Mm, detour (Detour)

Forget that flaw from back in the days
And the power we sought as we took the stage
Made it 15 years 'til we found our ways
Our direction veers as we turn the page

Gotta take a detour
The road is blocked (Detour now)
Time for a detour
Ooh, the gates are locked (Detour now)

We're finally tracking in the path of the groove
We're willingly backing the path of the moon
There'll be no more pain
We can explain, we found the force, we're back on course

We need a detour (Detour)
Gotta make the detour (Detour)
Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)
(Detour)

Used to say I love you but I was straight insane
I always left you holding the weight of my pain
'Cause I couldn't stay for even one more day
I broke two hearts, I couldn't share the parts
Then I ran away

People try to crash right down
Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage
We're all good people if you go deep down
But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age

Time for a detour
We gotta take the curve (Detour now)
Making the detour
It's time for a swerve (Detour now)

The world is spinnin'
It's time for a change
We know we ain't winning
We share the wage
We cause no pain, we can explain
We lost the force, we went off course

Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
Oh, I got to have a detour (Detour)
Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)

(Detour) Take a curve and a swerve
(Detour)
(Detour)
We need a detour (Detour)
