How Long is Too Long

You keep hanging on for more

Building walls around the words around the world

I keep tripping over hints

I keep spilling every secret

Without spilling any secrets at all

Don't you know?

Of course you don't

Of course you don't

The words might choke

How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?

Did the issue go this far?

Did you set this higher standard for yourself?

I know it's not a fault

Though I really have to wonder

If you'd ever set the standard without help

Don't you know?

Of course you don't

Of course you don't

The words might choke

How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?

Made up

You win

I'm lost

Give in

To each

Their own

With all their sins

You keep hanging on for more

Building walls around the words around the world

Don't you know?

Of course you don't

Of course you don't

The words might choke

This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke

How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
