I dreamt you seduced me Just to walk away I dreamt you inspired Then rewired what I say I dreamt you spread your bottom wings And pulled me to the bed But then I woke up feeling nauseous You danced around my head
Chorus: Tell me How long, how long have I been down? How long, how long have I been down? How long, how long have I been down? Down, down
I dreamt you burned my fingers Yes, an automatic sting I dreamt you called me beautiful Then asked to hear me sing I dreamt your sin invited me To crawl within your space But then I woke up feeling nauseous Girl, you danced around my face
Chorus: Tell me How long, how long have you been down? How long, how long have you been down? How long, how long have you been down? Down, down
And why can't we work when we both try? We try, we try, we try, we try And why can't this work when we both try? And why can't it work when we both try? We try, we try, we try, how we tried And how we try
"...and a warning, and due to unexpected weather, flight 5591 has been delayed..."
I meant to sympathize, I meant to be a friend I know apologizing won't erase the end But I learned that moving on is where I must begin Cause when our colors mixed, we couldn't fix The way they wouldn't blend
Chorus: So tell me How long, how long have we been down? How long, how long have we been down? How long, how long have we been down? Down, down, yeah
And I wish that only greatness follow you around I hope to God you find a way to keep from down When you do, I hope you share it all with me Please try to understand Yeah, to understand me Just try to understand me Yeah, understand me How long, how long have we been down? Down, down, yeah
