Pop rock es un genero musical que combina melodías y letras típicas de la música pop con elementos propios del rock como son una mayor presencia de guitarras eléctricas o un ritmo más fuerte. Existen diversas definiciones para el término que van desde una forma más lenta y suave de rock hasta un subgénero dentro del pop.

So we're taking the long way home
(Taking the long way home)
Take me back to the middle of nowhere
Back to the place only you and I share
Remember all the memories
The fireflies and make believes
Kicking back at the old school yard
Singing songs with our guitars
This is our reality
Crazy stupid you and me
We know this is the way it's supposed to be
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Taliking about nothing, yeah, whatever baby
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
Tonight
We're taking the long way home
(Taking the long way home)
We're taking the long way home
Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere
Yeah you know we took our time to get there
Hiding out in our dream
Catching fire like kerosene (kerosene)
And you know I'd never let you down
'Til the sun comes up we can own this town
Something like make believe
Living in a movie scene
Know this is the way it's supposed to be
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking about nothing, yeah, whatever baby
So we're taking the long way home (taking the long way)
Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Green Day's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning up the headlights darling
We're just taking it slow
So we're taking the long way home
'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone
I wanna get lost and drive forever with you
Talking about nothing, yeah, whatever, baby
So we're taking the long way home
Hitting every red light
Kissing at the stop signs darling
Green Day's on the radio
And everything is alright
Now we're turning up the headlights darling
We're just taking it slow
We're taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home
We're taking the long way home
