words and music by paula mcmath

I’ve been poundin’ on your door so long
I’ve broken my hands on the stone
I’ve been starin’ out my window so long
I’ve gotten used to being alone
so long as you can’t see me standin’ here
so long as you can’t decide
is as long as I can wait
is as long as I can abide

but it’s been so long, so long, so long

I’ve been diggin’ this hole so long
the reason’s become unknown
I’ve brushed the dust off so long
I’ve uncovered all the bones
so long as you can’t hear your silence
so long as you can’t open wide
is as long as I can do this
is as long as I can hide

but it’s been so long, so long, so long
so long, so long, so long, so long

your indecision is killin’ me
your doin’ nothin’ is killin’ me
I find myself so lost again
I can’t find my way to you
no matter what they say
the longest distance
the longest distance
is between two

I’ve been clingin’ to your touch so long
my body’s grown numb
I’ve been tellin’ you how I feel so long
my tongue has gone dumb
so long as you pretend you’re here
so long as you question why
is as long as I can struggle
is as long as I can lie

before I can say so long, so long, so long
so long, so long, so long, so long
