I hear you talking everywhere Words on the loudspeakers
Hanging in the air Everywhere
And I remember the words You told me too
This town's full of losers Trying to get a piece of you
You really think that's true
How long will it take Til you open up your eyes
I've been gone for years You never even realized
How l--o--n--g how l--o--n--g
In a corner of the world on election day
You watched your star shatter Then fade away
Too many wasted days
With your eyes wide open a hand on the wheel
You looked back hard trying to Remember just how it feels
How does it feel
Chorus
What does it take To let you know
It's all coming down
Don't waste my time
You used to walk down the street Like the chosen one
Everybody got your blessing Now they're gone
Where have they gone
Did I ever tell you what I thought Of what you did for me
Some things cost too much Even when they're free
Even when they're free
How long will it take Til you open up your eyes
I've been gone for years You never even realized
How l--o--n--g how l--o--n--g Oh How L--o--n--g
