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