Real Long Time

I wrote the letter in blood red ink to paint the picture I was trying to get done with the deep You get what you give and you give nothing less So I rode to the city, I'm waiting on the bus to come and take us So I guess it doesn't matter how you take it Take it, yeah Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time But not forever 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 To get two heads, we'll rock to autumn Get two eyes, both dark and gleaming Here's the thing, I think the whole time I was dreaming Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time But not forever Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time Take it in your stride, take it in your stride, you don't have to cry Take it in your stride and you won't have to hide away 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? Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time Not forever Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
