Lyrics
Takes Too Long
It takes too long to get to know you
I don't know why the time goes by so slow
The pulse of what I thought was breathing romance
Turned out to be a dream that couldn't grow
It takes too long to find a stolen moment
I don't know why the future melts before my eyes
The tears that only yesterday were rainstorms
Now feed the vines that grow to sympathize
It takes too long to figure out a reason
I don't know why I bother to inquire
Asking all those existential questions
That can't explain these trappings of desire
It takes too long to master all these dances
My feet can't match the footsteps on the floor
My ears shut out the pounding of the bass drum
And sweat drips from each and every pore
It takes too long to sing about the feeling
When everyone is bringing up the ice
Too much of what you're always stealing
To ever play the same song twice
It takes too long to get to know you
I don't know why the night went by so fast
With poetry inside a swollen finger
And my healing heart inside a plaster cast
It takes too long to get to know you
I don't know why the time goes by so slow
The pulse of what I thought was breathing romance
Turned out to be a dream that couldn't grow
