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 long how long

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

How long will it take

Til you open up your eyes

I've been gone for years

You never even realized

How long how long

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 long how long

How long
