Lyrics

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
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
And why can't we work when we both try?
We try, we try, we try, we try
And why can't this work, we both try?
And why can't it work when we both try?
We try, we try, we try, how we try
Oh, how we tried
I meant to sympathize, I meant to be a friend
I know apologizing won't erase the end
But I learned that moving on is where I must begin
'Cause 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, yeah
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
