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

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

So 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

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

How we try

I knew to sympathize I'm 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 wouldn't blend

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, down, yeah

And I wish that only greatness follow you around
I hope to guide me and find the way to keep from down
Whatever you do I hope you share it all with me
Please try to understand me
Yeah, understand me
Just try to understand me
Yeah, understand me

How long, how long have we been down?
Down, down, down
