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.
How long, how long
How long, how long
Will you give yourself to another guy
And never give our love another try?
Why?
Keep runnin' that dream all over town
While you keep on kicking me to the ground
Ground
How long, how long
How long, how long
Will you keep on pushing me down the road
Thinking I'ma do what just what I'm told?
No
Pat me by just one more time
You're never gonna get this heart of mine
Mine
We've been on this dead-end road
Believe we're ready to explode
And even in our final hours
See the beauty in the dying flowers
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
How long, how long
