Real Long Time

wrote the letter in blood red ink to paint the picture

I was trying to get done with the deed

You get what you give and you give nothing less

So I rode to the city, I'm waiting on the bus to come and take us

So I guess it doesn't matter how you take it

Take it, yeah

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

But not forever

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Well I was sitting on a park bench out in the heat

Couldn't get myself to even look away from my feet

Thinking the story's complete

To get two heads, we'll rock to autumn

Get two eyes, both dark and gleaming

Here's the thing, I think the whole time I was dreaming

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

But not forever

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Take it in your stride, take it in your stride, you don't have to cry

Take it in your stride, and you won't have to hide away

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

I still think we're all okay

How come what you want and what you get

Always seem to be two different things? Woah

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Not forever

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Yeah, yeah
