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
 [bad word] 
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 your sin invited me
To crawl within your space
But then I woke up feeling nauseous
Girl, you danced around my face
 [bad word] 
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
And why can't this work when we both try?
And why can't it work when we both try?
We try, we try, we try, how we tried
And how we try

"...and a warning, and due to unexpected weather,
flight 5591 has been delayed..."

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
Cause when our colors mixed, we couldn't fix
The way they wouldn't blend
 [bad word] 
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, yeah

And I wish that only greatness follow you around
I hope to God you find a way to keep from down
When you do, I hope you share it all with me
Please try to understand
Yeah, to understand me
Just try to understand me
Yeah, understand me
How long, how long have we been down?
Down, down, yeah
