Long Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smiles that'll disappear with the morning sun
Miles of laps that we were made to run
And when the lights dim, I think about myself with no one else around
And I believe there's a way to describe the silence as sound
And it's fading
Let's smother it, so it won't burn out
And I was taken by the arms that dealt the clout
And you look to the clouds and you wear the crown
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time, till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til I understand what is mine
[Verse 2]
Now all it's gonna' take, is just one cell
I said if he's got the courage, I'm gonna see him in hell
Now God I never lost you, you lost me
And I'm hollow as the heart that fell to my feet
And I believe there's a way to shut things you don't need out
And I believe that agony is the sound
I was taken by the arm that dealt the clout
I will look to the clouds and figure that my time's now
Smiles that'll disappear with the morning sun
Miles of laps that we were made to run
And when the lights dim, I think about myself with no one else around
And I believe there's a way to describe the silence as sound
And it's fading
Let's smother it, so it won't burn out
And I was taken by the arms that dealt the clout
And you look to the clouds and you wear the crown
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time, till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til I understand what is mine
[Verse 2]
Now all it's gonna' take, is just one cell
I said if he's got the courage, I'm gonna see him in hell
Now God I never lost you, you lost me
And I'm hollow as the heart that fell to my feet
And I believe there's a way to shut things you don't need out
And I believe that agony is the sound
I was taken by the arm that dealt the clout
I will look to the clouds and figure that my time's now
[Chorus]
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I understand what is mine
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I understand what is mine
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I understand what is mine
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I understand what is mine
