Real Long Time

I 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 else

Well we're all just sitting waiting on the bombs to come and take us

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

Take it, yeah

I'd wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

But not forever

I'd 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

You kept your hands where I could hold 'em

Kept your eyes both dark and gleaming

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

I'd wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

But not forever

I'd wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Take it it in your stride, take it in your stride

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

You won't have to hide away

I'd 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?

I'd wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Not forever

I'd wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
