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

[Chorus]

So 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

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

[Chorus]

So 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

Why can't we work when we both try?

We try, we try, we try

Why can't we work, we both try?

Why can't we work when we both try

Try, try, we we we try

I meant to sympathize I meant to be a friend

I know apologizing wont erase the end

But I learn that moving on, is where I must begin

Because when our colors mixed

We couldn't fix the way they wouldn't blend

[Chorus]

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 yeah.

Down, down, down, yeah...
