How Long

[Intro]
(How long?)
(How long?!?)

[Pre-Chorus]
You see me, as freely, as I’d ever hope to
And I don’t mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright
(Ooh, nevermind)
And if you ever need me I’mma find a new home for you
Instead of just laying here with no tight grip to my side
Are these worlds ever to collide?

[Chorus]
You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along
(How long?)
(How long?!?)
You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along
(How long?)
(How long?!?)

[Verse 1]
I’mma have to keep it honest with you
All this “real talk” is artificial
This time will shoot past, and almost hit you
Can’t see the stars, so we’ll have wish on a rocket missile
Been on this rock so long, somеhow it still holds me down, but my thoughts float on
And if you look close, that cloud looks kind of like mе and you
Just a cloud, you see it too?
I used to think it all would just come to me like it’s gift wrapped, under the tree
My shooting star was getting dim as suddenly as it lit the sky
I don’t get mystified and I miss the high
Amiss, remissed, resigned from the bliss as I
I’ll give you gift of life, whether Christmas time
Or just some ordinary day off your dayshift
But I don’t wanna wait anymore
I’m impatient, let’s go

[Pre-Chorus]
You see me, as freely, as I’d ever hope to
And I don’t mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright
(Ooh, nevermind)
And if you ever need me I’mma find a new home for you
Instead of just laying here with no tight grip to my side
Are these worlds ever to collide?

[Chorus]
You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along
(How long?)
(How long?!?)
You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
That I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along
(How long?)
(How long?!?)

[Verse 2]
I’ll always be searching for something better
A purpose in which I’m tethered
No perpendicular pleasure
No hurt but I’ll give her tremors
Assured that we’ll be together and sever
Now she’s with a perverted, wicked possessor
The stress that I had endeavored is hard-pressed in my temple
You resemble a star, can’t reassemble the parts or reinvent your bizarre, it’s all an adventure
I’ll just let you move on, could be forever, unless-
I can face that I still have to love myself to love you better, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You see me, as freely, as I’d ever hope to
And I don’t mind that you're not mine, it sounds alright
(Ooh, nevermind)
And if you ever need me I’mma find a new home for you
Instead of just laying here with no tight grip to my side
(Are these worlds ever to collide?)

[Chorus]
You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along
(How long?)
(Are these worlds ever to collide?)
You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along
(How long?)
(How long?!?)

[Outro]
(You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along)
(You say it can’t work but you’re wrong
And that I should just wait for the perfect girl to come along)
