You pretend to know what is all around you here. You pretend to know love is all around you here, but what would you do? What would you say? I've built an honest day sifting through your mistakes, what was it worth? You pretend to know love is all around you here. Didn't you fear love is all around you here "I can't say..." Please. What would you do? I can recall the day questioning my own faith and it hurt. It hurt. Not worth saving another mindless drone. Blindly praying won't make this house a home. Who'd dare say it? Not just in heart, no... Not worth saving another mindless drone. Blindly praying won't make this house a home. Who'd dare say it? Not just in heart, no...

don't ever say I never loved you, honey I always tried to make the best of what we had and if the past was causing you to lose sleep make like those who abandoned you before you said you would be coming home and fell apart and turned to me you said you would be coming home and fell apart I can't be the reason you don't progress anymore we can't grow together if you never grow alone I can't be your leg to stand on if you can't manage it's not in me, I can hardly handle myself it's hard enough to carry such a weight when I'm with you but it gets easier when you chip away my heart hold my tongue 'til then when I go free I'm taking all my lonely feelings home with me I can't be the reason you don't progress anymore we can't grow together if you never grow alone I can't be your leg to stand on if you can't manage it's not in me, I can hardly handle myself when you don't see me are you lonely? I get lonely too... when you don't see me are you lonely? I get lonely too... I can't be the reason you don't progress anymore we can't grow together if you never grow alone I can't be your leg to stand on if you can't manage it's not in me, I can hardly handle myself I can hardly handle myself...

I took something beautiful and forced my habits and strange dynamics unbeknownst, a stranglehold of insecure, oppressive words I should have known then, now I don't have the will to drag this on and on on and on... if I was who I thought I was then maybe we'd stay linked together if we did everything there was then how did we still fall to such lows? we'll make it in the meantime... have we gone and stayed too long? can I turn your world inside out? have we gone and stayed too long? can I turn your world inside out? little things we don't notice that can build into years that drag us both along on and on... on and on and on...

Been So Long 05:28
Remember? They were different days... But we've changed some, we had to it's been so long. We both want something better see, than heavy anchors weighing like it's keeping you. Do you recall what we'd go through? And where we went to? I don't know, it's been so long... And it goes on so far, so long, that we don't want to get out of what we know. Common threads sewn together, deconstructing how months meshed slowly into years. Everything has a purpose and we found ours separate but still alive... We all want something better see, than heavy anchors weighing like it's keeping you. Do you recall where we came from? Because I don't know you now, I'm only sure it's been so long. And it goes on so far, so long, that we don't want to get out of what we know. Remember they were different days, but we've changed some, we had to it's been so long. We both want something better see, than heavy anchors weighing like it's keeping you. Do you recall what we'd go through? And where we went to? I don't know, it's been so long...

watch through windows, the world passing by I don't care for speed, I'm taking my time out here we meet endless concrete, black with white lines stretching their arms sky that spreads out blankets in blue cover the plains, a long, endless view small grains of sand or inches on maps out here alone where sound can stand still on the road, on our own I never said we'd still be left the same if we parted on the road back there at home they all move while we still sit here floating in space where time knows no means, erases all things don't go too far, you may not come back say it won't be this hard (said it won't be this hard) said it a thousand times say it won't be this hard (said it won't be this hard) said it a thousand times on the road, on our own I never said we'd still be left the same if we parted on the road on the road, on our own I never said we'd still be left the same if we parted on the road

If I could buy you more time, I'd give you the chance you never had. To tell her everything, but my money's no good here. And it hurts I know, hurts I know, it always, always hurts I know, hurts I know. And it pleads, please... If I reached her and every sound was clear, you could carve the words carefully and float them through her ears. Say it slow and whisper soft, make it true and I'll say it... Hurts I know, hurts I know, it always, always, hurts I know, hurts I know and pleads, please...
7.
maybe our days are numbered maybe I want you back maybe these words are empty maybe I don't mind if you see someone else ah, are we going against the grain again? ah, are we growing up against the grain? you're building those walls around you they no longer see the light that shined so bright you build but you can't afford to so i ask if i can stay with you tonight ah, are we going against the grain again? ah, are we growing up against the grain? maybe our days are numbered maybe I want you back ah, are we going against the grain again? ah, are we growing up against the grain?
