Long Time Coming - Balto

Been coming for a long, long time

Oh did you say this life could never be

It was never really up to me

Decided by a god I cannot know

And when you poured every little fluid ounce of trust

The overflowing cup was only just

Your cardboard cutout substitute for love

And tragically I’m holding on

But the game is lost and the crowd is gone

I’m losing my mind

I’m losing my mind, oh

Been coming for a long, long time

And in my head a girl is sitting there

She picks a patch of wall and stares

She tells her love, she’s doomed to die alone

But then she’ll rise and straighten crooked spine

And remember love and remember life

She buys a ticket that train will take her home

And I’m standing on the platform here

But all mirages disappear

I’m losing my mind

I’m losing my mind, oh

Been coming for a long, long time
