And it takes a long time to feel
The way you feel when you go to bed
When you wake up in the morning
And it takes a long time to feel
That someone else deserves to have
What you can’t
And it takes a long time to remember
Why things went south
And you went north
And it takes a long time to remember
Why you were mad
In the first place
And it takes a long time to learn
How to know when someone’s eyes
Are saying they’re happy to see you
And it takes a long time to learn
How to keep your hand steady
When the waves are rolling
And it takes a long time to know
Why we all aren’t meant to go there
In one car
And it takes a whole hell of a long time to know
That just because I’m a guy
Doesn’t mean that I’m the guy
And it may take a lifetime to find out
Why I walk out in the rain
And find the deepest puddle to jump in
