Lyrics
A Long Time Coming
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.
Things start slowing down for you and I.
It's been a long time coming.
If you keep holding on to what we've lost.
You're gonna drag down the road behind us.
I never wanted it to feel like this to be this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never change.
I never wanted it to feel like this to feel this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay you'll hate me.
Things start slowing down for you and I.
It's been a long, long, long, long time.
If you keep holding on to what we lost.
You're gonna drag down the road behind us.
I never wanted it to feel like this to be this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay we'll never ever change.
I never wanted it to feel like this to be this way.
I'm just afraid that if you stay you'll hate me.
