It's been a long, long time since I lost myself
Put my pride down on the table put my fear on the shelf
And I bought myself a throne to reside and let myself go
But I've traveled too far, to know I'll never know
What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wandering through the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
It's been a long time

My days I've spent relaxing turned to nights relaxing too
There's a thousand eyes upon me, but my mind be missing you
So this timе, I swear I, will loosen my grip
On past times, and whitе lies, and meaningless trips

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
I wandered through the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
It's been a long time

So, over and over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself the more you will tend to hide
Behind these forest trees and greens that blind your eyes
And I lounge upon this throne I bought
Confer there with the wise
For a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
I wandered through the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
Been a long time
But it feels so good

So now here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear
For who? What can I do? But let you all come through my wall
And though some oppose many of these things I know
I'll stay right here in Chicago for a little while longer
Little wet, I feel right at home

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's been a little old while since I felt so fine
I wandered through the rain
I've already lost my mind
What a long, long time
It's been a long time
Long time, long time
Long time
