How Many Years?
Come and meet me at my old apartment
Boxes on the floor
I've been waiting all night for you
Come on I've been waiting all night for you
I know you don't believe me
But this is where I saw you for the first time
And that was when I knew
I had been waiting all my life for you
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Now you're at the airport drinking coffee
Waiting for your plane, leaving me behind
For a new set of streets to memorize
New bed and sheets and carpet and tile
I'm still packing my things
Trying to catch you before it leaves
Running through the door
Every red light, there's no time to wait around
I need you now!
Uh huh
Uh huh
Now I'm panicking in the back of an expensive car
Out past the bridge, I can see the planes
Are you in the gate with your headphones on
Are you in the cabin and you're nodding off
I can't live in this city without you
I wouldn't know where to go to escape
I can't sleep in that bed without you
I can't move through each boring day
I've been thinking about how our days are numbered
There's no other way they could ever be spent
If you got room I could follow behind you
Figure out a new way to pay the rent
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
Uh huh
I have realized I will need you my whole life
You were a dream
That I'd hold onto
Wake up sweating out a lot of the pain
I wanted to live but I couldn't find a way
I'd stopped thinking things would ever change
I saw you in the elevator, asked for your name
It echoes in my head still today
Your voice bounces off every corner of my brain
What could I do with my days?
There's no other way I could spend my days
What else could I do with my days
What could I do with my days
There's only so many summers that we get with each other
How many of those do you think we've got left?
There's only so many years that we get with each other
How many of those do you think we've got left?
There's only so many summers that we get with each other
How many of those do you think we've got left?
There's only so many years that we get with each other
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many times do I get to come home to you
How many nights with your head on my chest
I want to shake myself by the shoulders
Scream in my face till I run out of breath
Sayin how many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
How many years do you think we've got left?
