I dreamt you seduced me just to walk away
I dreamt you inspired then rewired what I say
I dreamt you spread your bottom wings and pulled me to the bed
But then I woke up feeling nauseous, you danced around my head
Tell me
How long, how long have I been down?
How long, how long have I been down?
How long, how long have I been down, down, down?
I dreamt you burned my fingers yes an automatic sting
I dreamt you called me beautiful then asked to hear me sing
I dreamt you sat, invited me to crawl within your space
But then I woke up feeling nauseous, girl you danced around my face
Tell me
How long, how long have you been down?
How long, how long have you been down?
How long, how long have you been down, down, down?
Why can't we work when we both try? We try, we try, we try, we try.
Why can't this work, when we both try?
Why can't it work when we both try? We try, we try, we try
How we try
And how we try
I meant to sympathize I meant to be a friend
I know apologizing won't erase the end
But I learn that moving on, is where I must begin
Because when our colors mixed
We couldn't fix the way they wouldn't blend
So Tell me
How long, how long have we been down?
How long, how long have we been down?
How long, how long have we been down, down, down?
And I wish that only greatness follow you around
I hope to God, you find a way to keep from down
When you do I hope you share it all with me
Please try to understand,
yeah to understand me
Just try to understand me, yeah understand me
How long, how long have we been down down, down, yeah
