Lyrics
How Long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So, give it up for anger
It makes us strong
I maybe just meant to thank her
Strong and wrong
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
We never discuss the notches
We just fight away
Even a busted watch is right twice a day
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
I know you know how it feels
I know you know it's for reals
I know you know I know you... so don't say it
That's what it takes to go there
On and on
You make a good case for nowhere
So that's where I've gone
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
How long
Don't say how long
Don't say how long
Don't say when
Don't say where
Don't say how long
