How Long

Lyrics

[Intro] (How long?) (How long?!?) [Pre-Chorus] You see me, as freely, as I'd ever hope to And I don't mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright (Ooh, nevermind) And if you ever need me I'mma find a new home for you Instead of just laying here with no tight grip to my side Are these worlds ever to collide? [Chorus] You say it can't work but you're wrong That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) You say it can't work but you're wrong That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) [Verse 1] I'mma have to keep it honest with you All this "real talk" is artificial This time will shoot past, and almost hit you Can't see the stars, so we'll have wish on a rocket missile Been on this rock so long, somеhow it still holds me down, but my thoughts float on And if you look close, that cloud looks kind of like mе and you Just a cloud, you see it too? I used to think it all would just come to me like it's gift wrapped, under the tree My shooting star was getting dim as suddenly as it lit the sky I don't get mystified and I miss the high Amiss, remissed, resigned from the bliss as I I'll give you gift of life, whether Christmas time Or just some ordinary day off your dayshift But I don't wanna wait anymore I'm impatient, let's go [Pre-Chorus] You see me, as freely, as I'd ever hope to And I don't mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright (Ooh, nevermind) And if you ever need me I'mma find a new home for you Instead of just laying here with no tight grip to my side Are these worlds ever to collide? [Chorus] You say it can't work but you're wrong That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) You say it can't work but you're wrong That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) [Verse 2] I'll always be searching for something better A purpose in which I'm tethered No perpendicular pleasure No hurt but I'll give her tremors Assured that we'll be together and sever Now she's with a perverted, wicked possessor The stress that I had endeavored is hard-pressed in my temple You resemble a star, can't reassemble the parts or reinvent your bizarre, it's all an adventure I'll just let you move on, could be forever, unless- I can face that I still have to love myself to love you better, yeah [Pre-Chorus] You see me, as freely, as I'd ever hope to And I don't mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright (Ooh, nevermind) And if you ever need me I'mma find a new home for you Instead of just laying here with no tight grip to my side (Are these worlds ever to collide?) [Chorus] You say it can't work but you're wrong And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (Are these worlds ever to collide?) You say it can't work but you're wrong And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along (How long?) (How long?!?) [Outro] (You say it can't work but you're wrong And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along) (You say it can't work but you're wrong And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along)
