Real Long Time

Ooh, wrote the letter in blood red ink
To paint the picture, I was trying to get done with the deed
You get what you give, and you give nothing less
So I rode to the city waiting on the bus to come and take us
So I guess it doesn't matter, how you take it
Take it, yeah

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
But not forever
Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Well I was sitting on a park bench out in the heat
Couldn't get myself to even look away from my feet
Thinking the story's complete

To get two heads, we'll rock, could all but give
Two eyes, full, dark, and gleaming
Here's the thing
I think the old time I was dreaming

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
But not forever
Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Take it in your stride, take it in your stride, you don't have to cry
Take it in your stride, and you won't have to hide away
Wait a long time, real long time, real long time

I still think we're all OK

How come what you want and what you get
Always seem to be two different things?

Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
Not forever
Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time

Yeah, yeah
