​so long

[Verse 1]
Alive again
The water finally will rise again
Over the shore I see all of my friends
I wave to them
They look at me and they keep walking
So I′ll stay inside again
I'm in the dark and singing 'til the end
I miss the park, I miss feeling the wind
My blistered skin
My lovely home is dropping in

[Chorus]
And now my hope is gone
Can′t believe it even lasted long
Given the circumstances
Losing everything for you
It sounded good 'cause it was new
I'll take my chances holding on
'Cause I'm in love, it′s been so long

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I′m in love, it's been so long
'Cause I′m in love, it's been so long

[Verse 2]
I′ll wish for it
For all the hope to flood back to the pit
I'm digging holes, why can′t I get a grip?
I might just quit
'Cause all the paper sticks and I can't be here quick
And you'll tag along with me
We′ll sit and laugh and notice every bee
They used to scare us, now they′re relaxing
What will we see?
From all the pollen drinks and all the covering
Spring will come to rid us of
The colder days in which we learned to play
To stay awake for days
Our minds would grow away
Atop the plastic toys, our goal to make some noise
And when we did
I couldn't see the world, but as a kid
I was so terrified of losing it
You can′t imagine thoughts before the spit
That wasn't it

[Chorus]
And now my hope is gone
Can′t believe it even lasted long
Given the circumstances
Losing everything for you
It sounded good 'cause it was new
I'll take my chances holding on
'Cause I'm in love, it′s been so long

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I′m in love, it's been so long
'Cause I′m in love, it's been so long
