Been Down

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:

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



Chorus:

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



And 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 try

And how we try



I meant to sympathize,

I meant to be a friend,

I know apologizing won't erase the end,

But i learned that moving on is where I must begin,

Cuz when our colors mixed,

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



Chorus:

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



Yea, and I wished that only greatness follow you around,

I hoped to god you find a way to stay away from down,

When you do i wish you will share it all with me,

Please try to understand, yea to understand me,

Just try to understand me, yea understand me

How long, how long have we been down?

Down, down, yea
