Lyrics

Long Time

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.

I've been running circles 'round a night that never ends

I've been chasing heartache in a city and a friend

I've been with you so long, even seen you lose it, but who cares?

Racing down the bowery on a crowded afternoon

Draping from the davenport of your insecure typhoon

Can you even want me or is this just a way to keep you safe?

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours

Are you happy?

Does it take you a long time?

Does it make you upset?

Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?

I can give you a heartbeat, I can give you a friend

I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend

Drinking with your cellphone with a smile on your face

Happy in success, but still a thousand miles away

Is this what you wanted? Is this everything you had in store?

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours

Are you, happy?

Does it take you a long time?

Does it make you upset?

Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?

I can give you a heartbeat, I can give you a friend

I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours

Are you happy?

I've been running circles 'round a night that never ends

I've been chasing heartache in a city and a friend

I've been with you so long, even seen you lose it, but who cares?

Does it take you a long time?

Does it make you upset?

Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?

I can give you a heartbeat, I can give you a friend

I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours
