Figure

The summer days
The wind and rain
Of all things that could ever change
Will slowly take the better half
You know that this will never last
And so
Just won't you tell me how long
Have you been this way
The leaves will fall
And hearts will change
We'll all go our separate ways
And all you have will come to pass
So if you love just make it last
And so
Just won't you tell me how long
Have you been this way

You were sleeping on the sidewalk
Wondering if you're ever gonna have to wake up
Cause you feel as though you're never gonna have to
And she is watching from the front porch
Wondering if you're ever gonna figure it out
Cause she feels as though
You're never gonna have to know

The winter nights will ease your pain
And you'll live on to better days
The sand has finally turned to glass
So here we are nothing at last
And so
Just won't you tell me how long
Have you been this way

Has all the sound in your life gone completely away
Do the lights reach your eyes
Or are they finally diminishing
Like how all things that make you wonderful
Will be no longer
Then what will I say
Other than how long
Have you been this way
How long do you plan to stay awake

You were sleeping on the sidewalk
Wondering if you're ever gonna have to wake up
Cause you feel as though
You're never gonna have to grow
