How Long? - The King's Parade

My mind’s a little open

My mind’s a little tired

From all the reckless things

I’ve said and done

Somewhere down the line

I thought it would be easy

I’m hoping that in time

I settle all the different

Things I’ve done

Somewhere down the line

Crawl into my mind

Tell me baby, it’s alright

Crawl into my mind

Tell me everything is okay

Somewhere there you’ll find

All the pieces

Of a man I try to hide

Waiting at the surface

‘Cause I’m tryin' to get back

To the way I used to be

Tryin' to get back

I’m leavin' everything behind

I turn back

And I’m getting nowhere

Flashbacks forever

And I’m tryin' to get back

To the way I used to be

Tryin' to get back

I’m leavin' everything behind

I turn back

And I’m getting nowhere

Flashbacks forever

Too late to call it even

Too late to double down

I was so caught up

In the way I’d found

You called me out of line

If only I could go back

Hindsights forever blind

Should I risk it all

For a story told?

Somewhere down the line

Crawl into my mind

Tell me baby, it’s alright

Crawl into my mind

Tell me everything is okay

Somewhere there you’ll find

All the pieces

Of a man I try to hide

Waiting at the surface

‘Cause I’m tryin' to get back

To the way I used to be

Tryin' to get back

I’m leavin' everything behind

I turn back

And I’m getting nowhere

Flashbacks forever

And I’m tryin' to get back

To the way I used to be

Tryin' to get back

I’m leavin' everything behind

I turn back

And I’m getting nowhere

Flashbacks forever

How long?

How long?

How long?

How long?

How long?

How long?

How long?

How long?

Will I try to get back

To the way I used to be

Try to get back

I’m leavin' everything behind

I turn back

And I’m getting nowhere

Flashbacks forever

I try to get back

To the way I used to be

Try to get back

I’m leavin' everything behind

I turn back and I’m getting nowhere

Flashbacks forever
