How Long

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 How long will it take Til you open up your eyes I've been gone for years You never even realized How l--o--n--g how l--o--n--g 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 What does it take To let you know It's all coming down Don't waste my time 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 How long will it take Til you open up your eyes I've been gone for years You never even realized How l--o--n--g how l--o--n--g Oh How L--o--n--g
