How Long

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear you talking everywhere Words on the loudspeakers Hanging in the air Everywhere And I remember the words You told me too This town's full of losers Trying to get a piece of you You really think that's true [Chorus] How long will it take 'Til you open up your eyes? I've been gone for years You never even realised How long? How long? [Verse 2] In a corner of the world on election day You watched your star shatter Then fade away Too many wasted days With your eyes wide open a hand on the wheel You looked back hard trying to Remember just how it feels How does it feel [Chorus] How long will it take 'Til you open up your eyes? I've been gone for years You never even realised How long? How long? [Bridge] What does it take To let you know? It's all coming down Don't waste my time [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] You used to walk down the street Like the chosen one Everybody got your blessing Now they're gone Where have they gone Did I ever tell you what I thought? Of what you did for me? Some things cost too much Even when they're free Even when they're free [Chorus] How long will it take 'Til you open up your eyes? I've been gone for years You never even realised How long? How long?
